화엄사 대웅전 삼신불회도의 연구

Abstract

Though many hall and relics of Hwaeom Temple had been burn down during the Japanese and Manchurian invasions, with warriormonks’ brave achievements admitted Byeogamdaesa led the reconstruction of the main hall, in which the Buddhist statues of Samsin ‘three bodies’, I.e. Bepsin, Bosin, and Hwasin was placed and Samsinbulhoedo Was enshrined. Also, I have explored the religious situation of late Chosun, when the Buddhist painting was created. The reasons why the Hwaeom religion greatly prevailed I late Chosun despite the Buddhist into Zen or non‑Zen Buddhism are as follow. First, due to the establishment of the lecturing education as an educational system for monks, a teaching-learning scholarly trend was formed. Second, since scholarly monks were increasingly engaged in the study of the Hwaeom bible as Jing Gwan’s Hwaeomgyeongsocho was newly introduced in the late 17th century, interest in and studies on the Hwaeom philosophy was actively carried out. Also, I have found out that the names of contributors to the creation of the Buddhist painter. From this, we can learn that Samsinbulhoedo in Hwaeom Temple has an important meaning as the reference painting was changed by the followers of Euigyeom, who represented the Jeolla painting style. Beopsin, Bosin, and Hwasin are placed as main Buddha’s on three planes respectively. I have also learned that Samsinbulhoedo in Hwaeom Temple is based on the Samsin theory, a product of Mahayana Buddhism, and is a concrete expression of the speculative model of Mahayana Buddhism in picture. While it contains the properties of Buddhist paintings in the 18th century,Samsinbulhoedo in Hwaeom Temple also shows some styles of the first period of late Chosun in that it does not have formatted properties.Also, it has been shown that after such unique trend of Euigyeom’s Buddhist painting was gradually formulated and reduced by his student and followers, it was newly developed into their own painting trends.
