新羅 五臺⼭의 ⽂殊信仰과 五萬眞⾝信仰 검토

Abstract

The Silla Odaesan faith is the place to which the Mañjuśri faith of Chinese Odaesan was implanted by Jajang. However, the religious structure of Silla Odaesan is based on the Omanjinsin (fifty-thousand true body) Faith centering on Mañjuśri, which was established by Bocheon and Hyomyeong during the Late Silla Era. This is a distinctive feature of the Silla Obadasan faith different from the Chinese Odaesan faith. In other words, the Silla Odaesan faith was based on Jajang’s Mañjuśri faith and was completed into the Omanjinsin Faith by Bocheon and Hyomyeong. This paper reviews the religious structural features of the Silla Odae Mountain faith. For this, in Chapter Ⅱ, Jajang’s Mañjuśri faith and its transplantation will be discussed and, in Chapter Ⅲ, the characteristics of religious experience by Bocheon and Hyomyeong will be reviewed along with the structuring of faith by them. In this way, it was found that Jajang was not sufficient to be the founder of the Silla Odaesan faith and its actual completion was accomplished by Bocheon and Hyomyeong’s religious experience, and that the Mañjuśri faith is located at the center of Bocheon and Hyomyeong’s religious experience in the Silla Odaesan faith. In this respect, Jajang, Bocheon, and Hyomyeong can be bound in the one category of the Silla Odaesan faith. And, through the comparison of Silla Odaesan related records in the Samguk Yusa (the Legacy of the Three Kingdoms) and the Odaesan Sajeoggi (五臺山事蹟記), it was confirmed that there were changes in the religious structure of the Bukdae (北臺, northern Odae) faith and that there is a disagreement on the founder of the Omanjinsin Faith structure. In addition, it was also clarified that the Omanjinsin Faith structure represented the prosperity of the Unified Silla and the realization of the ideal Buddhist Kingdom through the integration and unification of Mahayanist Buddhism.
