오대산의 풍수지리학적 위상과 탄허의 화엄학적 풍수관

Abstract

Odaesan Mountain is already recorded as a propitious site in terms of feng shui geography in Legends and History of the Three Kingdoms. In particular, Japanese colonial era Lee Neung-hwa recorded Odaesan sacred buddha relic temple as a “mountainous propitious site where Buddha's sarira is enshrined” through a history of History of Choseon Buddhism. As a result, the feng shui aspect was highlighted, and it left an article that convinced the Jajang preceptor enshrined the Buddha's sarira. This study analyzed the status of Odaesan Mountain in Korea's feng shui geography by reconsidering Odaesan Mountain, sacred buddha relic temple, Sangwonsa Temple, and Woljeongsa Temple, which were written as ‘propitious site’ in Lee Neung-hwa's historical records. In addition, we looked at the feng shui geography perspectives of Jajang, Bocheon, Hyo-myeong, Na-ong, Han-am, and Tanheo, which are the previous masters of Odaesan Mountain, and examined how the feng shui perspectives of high priests differ from Confucian feng shui. Buddhist monk Tanheo accepted the theory of feng shui in a Buddhist way based on the idea of Flower Ornament Study just as unobstructed thought and distinctive wisdom. His broad ideas can be seen as representative of the view on feng shui geography of Korean Buddhism. In order to extract the fundamental meaning of Korean feng shui, I first presented the spirit of ‘distinctive wisdom’ in Flower arnament Study, and the spirit of Great vehicle feng shui, Public Pungsu as concepts of Buddhist feng shui distinct from Confucianism. I would like to continue my research to extract the characteristics of Buddhist feng shui through the feng shui status of Odaesan Mountain, which can be said to be the center of Korea's Buddhist feng shui.
