백용성 편수 시식의식의 특성

Abstract

This writing considers the characteristic of the rites of sisik (施食, banquet) complied by Baek Youngsung in the early 20th century, both the structural and the cognitive aspects. Intially, the original scriptures and standard of the rites of sisik, the rites in Korean Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism were examined, on which the features of those edited by BaekYoungsung are based. The structural characteristic of Back Younsung's is that Yakrye(略禮; The ritual in brief) consists of 2 chapters and Gwangrye (廣禮, The ritual in full detail) is made up of 12 chapters, which makes their meaning simple and clear, unlike Mongsan sisik uigwe (蒙山施食儀軌, The manual for sisik by Rev. Mongsan)which is composed of 3 chapters and 6 sections. The ritual orations of the rites of sisik in other Korean Buddhism and Chinese Buddhism do nothave this structure Next, the cognitive characteristic of his work are considered and how he utilizes the number of dharma systematically to correctly reveal its idea. Sentient beings never fails to get enlightened, because there is division between Buddha and sentient beings even though all have one mind. Therefore, Yakrye puts emphasis on enlightenment in Ilsimimun(一心二門, one mind two gates), encouraging them to be free from the six samsaric destinies and to take the stage of sages, and setting chanting Amitabha 7 times.
