한국의 불교의례와 『석문의범』

Abstract

The collection of rituals used as the oldest basic text in Korean Buddhism is Ahn Jin-ho's the Sukmoon-yibum. He published a book despite some critical public opinion against Buddhist shamanistic rituals at the time. This book compiled rituals and ceremonies that have been handed down since the Joseon Dynasty and emphasized traditional Buddhist rituals. With this book, monks at that time were able to relieve the inconvenience of ritual collection, and anyone could easily pray and pray in their daily lives. This book has had a great repercussion on the Buddhist community since its publication, and so far has an important status as a textbook for the collection of rituals, and has greatly contributed to the popularization of Korean Buddhist rituals. Today, Korean Buddhist ritual books are based on the contents contained in the Sukmoon-yibum. In other words, this book serves as an important link between the Joseon Dynasty and the current Korean Buddhist rituals. Through the publication of this book, An Jin-ho established a system of Buddhist rituals that no one could put into practice, and practiced the prosperity and popularization of Buddhism. This would have been impossible except for him, who had an eye to face the reality of the Buddhist at the time and was able to master and translate the scriptures, that is, with both wishes and abilities. In recent years, his efforts are supported by the background of the prevalence of Buddhist rituals such as Yeongsan-jae, Suryuk-jae, and Saeng jeon Yesu-jae.
