Abstract

The Hanguel generation who are educated under the policy only for using Hanguel have become the majority in these days and there should be so many changes in the buddhist community. One of the most important issue is translating Sutra and rituals into Hanguel. The monk Bak yong-sung already insisted the same kind of issue for the purpose of popularization of buddhism a hundred years ago and the purpose of that issue is clearly elucidated in the prospectus of Institute of Maha Bodhi Thought. In this paper, I will examine important things to translate the text of ritual into Hanguel and especially for the ‘Gyecheong’ of 「Cheonsugyong」 which is very important in the buddhist ritual. The contents of ‘Cheonsugyong’ transformed into a ceremonial offering to Buddha is applied to ‘Gyecheong’ in 「Eucheonsu」and 〈Gwiuirye〉is supplemented to ‘Gyecheong’. ‘Gyecheong’ has the same meaning as ‘Jucheong’ and has four parts of composition. so we have to understand the every meaning of its parts accurately and have to establish rules for translation. (1) The text of ‘Gyecheong’ has a meaning of acclaiming the virtue of Buddha who grants my wish, so it is translated in the style of ‘praise’. (2) The text of ‘Shibwon’ and ‘yukhyang’ have a meaning of the content of wish, so it is translated in the style of ‘petition’. (3) ‘Gwiuirye’ has a meaning of endless faith, so it is translated in the style of ‘devotion to Buddha’. I have established those three rules of translation in this paper. Especially ‘Gwiuirye’ is the core part of this paper. It is absolutely certain that ‘Gwiuirye’ was formed in Korean peninsula. It focused on the devotion to Avalokiteshvara and maintained the basic form of ‘Four Saint in the utmost bliss’. These statements from the different viewpoint are big accomplishments in this paper and We can assume the magnitude of the power of dharma from the Thousand Hand Dharani which can be achieved by meeting all the conditions of Gyecheong. Translation of the text of rituals into Hanguel is the needs of the times so the buddhist community should meet the demand but keep in mind that The Maha Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra translated by Hyunjang is popular in chinese cultural area.
