조선 후기 고운사의 중창과 楓潭系－조선후기 불교계의 변화와 관련하여－

Abstract

In order to investigate the growth of Gounsa Temple in the late Joseon Dynasty, this study examines the activities of temple reconstruction and monks in northern Gyeongsangdo, and identifies the growth factors of Gounsa Temple and the genealogy of Gounsa monks. Buddhism took the opportunity for revival after Japanese invasion in 1592. The performance of monk soldiers during Japanese invasion in 1592 could change the negative perspectives of the ruling class on Buddhism. The privatization of land and development of agriculture in the late of Joseon Dynasty became the economic backgrounds for reconstructing temples damaged by the war. Buddhist monks led the reconstruction of temples in the Northern Gyeongsang Province as contributing expenses after the war. Yaun Siseong(野雲時聖), a monk from Andong, had tried to rebuild temples in Andong areas, and his successors later entered Gounsa and took a central position. Gounsa Temple prospered in earnest in the late Joseon Dynasty, especially after the 18th century. The monks of Gounsa Temple reconstructed the temple with the support of the royal family, and the monks themselves provided the financial resources. In the process, the successors of Pungdam Uisim(楓潭義諶), a disciple of Hwanseong Jian(喚醒志安), came to take the initiative of Gounsa. Hamhong Chineung(涵弘致能) and Suwol Youngmin(水月永旻) who were active in the 19th century, are representative monks.
