Abstract

The ceremony is the external expression of religion and there is no religion without it. Religious event involves certain formality and it is called the ceremony. There are so many important doctrines and ideas according to subject in the korean buddhist ceremony. It is very difficult to master the ceremony and the qualification process is too hard. so it is not easy to be the leading performer of buddhist ceremony. The leader of ceremony who is called ‘Beobjoo’ has to pass this qualification test and the expression ‘knowing joarip’ means ‘be qualified’. I shed new light on the concrete meaning and importance of ‘joarip’ in this paper. ‘Sashiebulgong’ is the best material to summarize the part of ‘Joarip’ in many kind of ceremonies. Considering the time required, the quantity of text and the contents of articles, it is well suited for our research. In this paper, I examined the meanings of ‘Joarip’ one by one and arranged the qualification process of ‘Joarip’ on the basis of testimonies by ‘Earjang’ who are the readers of ‘Beaompae’. I analysed the meanings of articles respectively in ‘Sashibulgong’ and arranged those meanings of joarip in the table No.1. Consequently, this research gave us well understanding about the whole process of ceremony and established the unity of performing ceremony. The ceremoy is changing its shape and now in progress.
