도침의 불교사상과 백제부흥운동 : 『仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經』을 기반으로 한 한국 최초의 호국운동

Abstract

Dochim and Boksin’s movement to revive Baekje arose in Imjon-sung and Juryu-sung. There has been many discussions about the location of Juryu-sung mostly based on bibliography and military science. However, in consideration of the influence of Buddhism on Baekje’s national ideology and social custom, Buddhism must have been one of the major momentum of the revival movement of Baekje. Also, it is remarkable that Dochim, one of the heads of the movement, was a Buddhist monk. Even so, there have been few researches about how Dochim’s religious thought affected the movement. Based on activities such as building temples and missionary activities in Japan of Uigak and Gakjong who lived at the same time with Dochim, Dochim’s religious thoughts can be ascertained a little. So far Dochim’s Buddhist thought has been regarded as Dharma- flower or Maitreya. However it seems that his thought was more like protecting a country or protecting the Buddha-truth, based on the Renwang huguo banruo poluomiduo jing according to this research. Moreover, Dochim’s activity domain can be assumed to be Imjon-sung. This research has also focused on the possibility of Imjon-sung to be Pugak (Northern Mountain) of Five Sacred Mountains in Sabi Period in Baekje, and on the possibility of Baekje’s national ritual ceremony to have absorbed Buddhist elements. Dochim’s Sujidoksong, which means to receive, retain, read and recite the illustrious doctrines and teachings of Buddha, other related activities lead us persuasively to rituals in Juryu-sung later. Even though Buddhism was a foreign religion, it definitely affected countries in East Asia in many ways. Through ascertaining the connection between rituals of ancient countries and Buddhism, this research tries to make an additional assumption about the location of Juryu-sung based on ideological dimensions.
