범패 중제의 특성 및 범패승의 법맥法脈 고찰

Abstract

Today the Buddhist ritual music is performed according to the Beompae melodies and ritual procedures unique to each region. It is categorized into the Gyeongje of Seoul and Gyeonggi region, Jungje of Chungcheong region, Yeongje of Yeongnam region, Wanje of Honam region, and Jejuje of Jeju region. Jungje has been designated as Intangible Cultural Asset No. 40 of Naepoyeongsandaejae by the Chungcheongnam Province, which has ensured its transmission and preservation. In 2008, some Buddhist priests were appointed as the holders of Yeongsandaejae and started to pass it down to their disciples with a focus on Beomeum, Beompae, and Jakbeopmu. In the Chungcheong Province, many Beompae monks that have been left out of research have performed their own unique Beomeumseong, Jakbeopmu, and ritual procedures. There are three major Buddhist temples where the Beompae monks of Jungje were active, and they are Magok, Shinwon·Donghak, and Sudeok Buddhist Temples. This study arranged the genealogy of Beompae monks that were active at the three Buddhist temples by the generations according to each period and examined the characteristics of Jungje Beompae monks that referred to the Beomeum, Beompae, and Jakbeopmu of Chungcheong Province. First, the Magok Buddhist Temple line includes the system that succeeds the 1st generation Eojang Buddhist Priest Beophae Yongeum, who was a Buddhist priest of high virtue and grand Gangbaek of his time that worked on many existing ritual books , the 2nd generation Eojang Chuidam Ilhyeon, and Jeongmuk, the disciple of 3rd generation Eojang Buddhist Priest Beomjin. It also includes many Beompae monks that are the disciples of Seungdo Jian and Ilhwa in the line of 2nd generation Eojang Buddhist Priest Hyeryeon Ilhwa such as Jicheon, Jiseon, Jiam, Jisan, Jiho, Jibong, Jiin, Jigwang, Jiyeong, and Jideok. The Goseong Yeombul, which is one of the characteristics of Magok Buddhist Temple line, has been transmitted. Second, the genealogy of Shinwon·Donghak Buddhist Temple includes the 1st generation Eojang Yongpa(Buddhist Priest Palja), the 2nd generation Eojang Woonhodaecheon that was the Jungheungjo of Jungje Beompae, and the third generation members such as Seonghak, Hyemuk, Seongcheol, Seongjin, Bomyeong, Inho, Gyehyeon, Seongcho, Inmuk, and Myeongho. Its Jungje Beompae monks include the ones from other lines such as the 1st generation Eojang Dogwangwonik, 2nd generation Eojang Geumam Daeyeong, and his disciples in the third generation including Deoksan, Byeoksan, Hesan, Hosan, Bosan, Woonsan, and Seoksan. Third, the genealogy of Sudeok Buddhist Temple includes Geumwoo Seogyeong in the first generation, Hwansan Beopin, Gyeongmyeong, Gyeseok, and Inseong in the second generation, and Yuil, Yujeong, Yugyeong, Yuhwa, Yuseon, and Gitae in the third generation. The Beompae monks of Sudeok Buddhist Temple line are characterized by their performance of Daeyecham, which has almost disappeared in the other regions, in all of their Jae rituals. In Beomeumseong, all the rituals are held in the Goseong Yeombul of Jungje. Finally, a demonstration is performed in every October to show the current transmission of Naepoyeongsandaejae, Intangible Cultural Asset No. 40 in Chungnam Province, promote the propagation of Buddhism in the areas, and spread the traditional Korean culture and art. Beompae Jungje reflects the features of Goseong Yeombul whose Beomeumseong is sorrowful and magnificent by the influence of its geographical conditions including the gentle mountain terrain, vast plain, and developed ports. Modern and contemporary Jungje Beompae monks have performed the threeday Yeongsanje and all sorts of Buddhist rituals at each Buddhist temple and visited Buddhist priests that are versed in the rituals wherever they are to inherit their Beomeum, Beompae, and Jakbeopmu. Once the genealogy of Jungje Beompae monks is established by the generations, it will create an opportunity to do more systematic and profound researches on their Beomeumseong, Jakbeopmu dance steps, and ritual performance procedures that could be buried and go unnoticed for good
