莊嚴의 場을 통하여 본 念佛

Abstract

The remembrance of the Buddha begins at the time of the original vows in the beginning of the vows. There are many ways of doing the remembrance of the Buddha, but the aim is to escape from the unrest in reality and from the reincarnation in the afterlife. In this paper, I have examined the remembrance of the Buddha based on the original vow in the meaning of the maṇḍala through the Buddha-lands that can be called the ornamentation, as the so-called maṇḍala is developed in each scripture. This is a fundamentally essential element for the rebirth in the Pure Land. Here, the perpetual ornamentation of the performer is also a prerequisite. The maṇḍala of the Pure Land, the maṇḍala of the Hwaeom, and the maṇḍala of the esoteric mandala are the essences of all regeneration as well, and of the rebirth in the Pure Land, the original vows of the Bodhisattvas through the ornamentation of the Buddha-lands. By the remembrance of the Buddha seen through the maṇḍala of the perpetual ornamentation, we were able to see that the purpose of obtaining the prajñā. And carrying out or performing the remembrance of the Buddha, as is generated from the practice of the Bodhisattvas is expressed differently in various forms depending on the ability or period of the persons.
