조선 후기 운문사의 佛事와 불화

Abstract

Located in Cheongdo, Geyongsangbuk‐do, Unmunsa-temple has a collection of various Buddhist artifacts that show a long history. The Buddhist paintings existing in Unmunsa-temple are mostly after the reconstruction in the middle of the 17th century. Avalokitesvara and Bodhidharma mural painting behind the Buddha is one of the Buddhist paintings created during the reconstruction of Great Hall twice in 1655 and in 1773, and this painting shows the appearance of Unmunsa-temple, which was founded as Unmunjong temple and consistently followed Zen lineage. Great Hall's Trikaya Buddha painting and Three Bodhisattva painting were produced in 1755 by monk painter Imhan and his disciples, and Trikaya Buddha painting shows the form of Tirkaya painting which is the oldest with the existing behind Buddha paintings. Three Bodhisattva paintings are notable in that they were painted in an independent scroll with the three Bodhisattvas paintings of Cheongjang‐Bodhisattva, Jiji‐Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha. In the 19th century, Manilyeombulhoe(Assembly of recitation of Buddha's name for Ten-thousand days) was held by priest Unak Duan, and Buddhist paintings that were enshrined to Yeombuldang(Hall for recitation of Buddha's name) were mainly produced. Among them, Divine Guardians painting of Great Hall, and Avalokitesvara painting of Hall of Avalokitesvaran, Amitabha painting in 1861 transmits the vividness of Manil yeombulhoe which was performed in Unmunsa-temple. In addition, at this time, production of portraits of a priest was intensified and 11 paintings still remain. This study examined the reconstruction of Great Hall of Unmunsa-temple in the 17th and 18th centuries and the Buddhist paintings drawn due to Yeombulhoe in 1861 and the reconstruction and Buddhist paintings of Unmunsa-temple in the late Joseon, and Buddhist paintings in the temple are mostly composed in the construction and rebuilding of the temple, or in the memory of a special Buddhist event or Buddhist memorial service, etc.
