조선시대 이전 유마경의 전래와 간행

Abstract

This study is a review of the Vrimalakirti Sutra which was introduced and published in the pre-modern era. During the Silla Period, commentaries on the Vimalakirti Sutra were produced. It is said that Wonhyo wrote Doctrinal Essentials of the Vrimalakirti Sutra (維摩經宗要) and Summary Notes on the Vrimalakirti Sutra (維摩經略贊), Kyeongheung wrote Commentary on the Scripture of the Stainless Name (無垢稱經疏), and Dunryun wrote Collected Essentials of the Vrimalakirti Sutra (維摩經料簡), but they do not exist today. During the Goryeo dynasty, it seems that Uicheon the National Preceptor of Grand Enlightenment included Anthology of Commentaries on the Vrimalakirti Sutra in the Catalog of the Buddhist Canon and made woodblocks. Its replica from the early Joseon period still exists today. In addition, translations of the Vrimalakirti Sutra by Zhi Qian, Kumārajīva and Xuanzang are included in Tripitaka Koreana. The new introduction and distribution of the Vrimalakirti Sutra originated from Jiaxing Tripitaka, which contained the Vrimalakirti Sutra, discovered in 1681 in a Chinese merchant ship that landed on Imjado Island. Among the Buddhist writings from the Jiaxing Tripitaka sent to the royal family, King Sukjong read the Vrimalakirti Sutra translation by Zhi Qian and presented it to his secretary Lim Sangwon. Later, Chowon Lee Chung-ik transcribed the translation of the Vrimalakirti Sutra by Kumārajīva from Tripitaka Koreana and analyzed it in contrast to the Vrimalakirti Sutra given by King Sukjong. Later, in 1854, Yu Seong-jong published a new version of Direct Commentaries on the Vrimalakirti Sutra (維摩詰所說經直疏), which was obtained from China. In 1874, a Korean translation the Vrimalakirti Sutra was published by an anonymous.
