향가 <普賢十願歌>의 표현 양상과 그 의미-선행 텍스트와의 비교 검토를 중심으로-

Abstract

This study tried to review the characteristics and meanings of expressions in 11 poems in “Bohyunsibwonga” by Gyunyeo. For detailed analysis and interpretation, annotation of “Hwaeomgyeonghaengwonpumso” by Jingkwan which is commentary of 「Bohyunhaengwonpum」. The followings are the results of the study. First, while “Yegyeongjebulga”~“Gwangsugongyangga” follow the composition and contents of ‘Bohyunhaengwonpum,’ they show that Buddha and his world is organized through exteriorization of scriptures and repetition of poetic language and. Second, “Chamhoieopjangga”~“Cheonjeon- beopryunga,” and “Hangsunjungsaengga” enforce logic utilizing new verses that have not existed in previous texts and figure of speeches of Buddhist scriptures (佛典), and consequently improve persuasiveness. All other songs than “Chamhoieopjangga” show the consciousness of differentiation and transcendence such as ‘Others are the very me,’ ‘resolution is enlightenment,’ and ‘enlightenment is rooted in delusion.’ Third, in “Sangsubulhakga”~ “Chonggyeolmujinga” adapt partial expressions of previous texts and add new verses to emphasize that the source of these songs are the works of Buddha. The emphasis of ‘Work of Buddha’ shows the orientation of “Bohyunsibwonga” with the perception on the transcendence beyond the differentiation. In other words, “Bohyunsibwonga” are the songs to let the audience (readers) know that ‘I’ and ‘We’ can and must be Buddha.
