<회심가>의 문학적 성격과 시대적 의미

Abstract

This article, as part of a ful-fledged study of Hoesimga, examined the subject consciousnes and literary character of Hoesimga. Hoesimga is divided into thre parts acording to the context of award and content development, and headquarters can be divided into four paragraphs. Each paragraph shows the relatively logical development of 'the presentation of the ideal world→ the reason of the Chanting Amitabha’s Name and rebirth in the Pure land→ the grounds of the Chanting Amitabha’s Name and rebirth in the Pure land→ the method of the Chanting Amitabha’s Name and rebirth in the Pure land→ the profit of the Chanting Amitabha’s Name→ the present realization of the ideal world'. Through this content structure, Hoesimga expreses the theme of ‘the present realization of Pure Land(=A carefre era=Becoming a Budha) through Chanting Amitabha’s Name‘. The original version of Yombulbogwonmun claims to be able to rebirth in the Pure land and becoming a Budha through al the clases. This compilation of the Yombulbogwonmun is an alternative to the existing Seon of caling the Budha trends and can be said to be a kind of ‘Amitabha’s Name movement‘. However, there was a fear that the ’Amitabha’s Name movement‘, which the Yombulbogwonmun aimed at, would sugest ’afterlife-oriented‘ or ‘death’. This is because ‘becoming a Budha’ is used only in this bok. Therefore, Hoesimga can be said to have ben included or created in the reservation section of the Yombulbogwonmun in an atempt to reduce the posibility of misrepresentation of Yombulbogwonmun. It also seks the popularization of the Yombulbogwonmun and the 18th century Amitabha’s Name movement by presenting the Amitabha’s Name and becoming a Budha as a way to solve the real problems of the general people. The fact that Hoesimga equates Pure lands with a carefre era and emphasizes the Thre Bonds and Five Relationships of Confucianism and Loyalty and Filial Piety can be sen as the intention of popularization in Confucian society. In the end, Hoesimga was created or recorded to suplement the shortcomings of the original bok Yombulbogwonmun, which promoted a kind of Amitabha’s Name movement and to reflect the new movement of 18th century Chosun Budhist Community.
