부산 소림사 소장 오방번과 칠여래번의 역사문화적 의의

Abstract

Patākā was used for Buddhist rituals and propagations from the early Buddhist period. It is especially used to enshrine the Buddhist seminary during Buddhist rituals, to make offerings to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and to spread the Buddha Dharma. This paper explores the history and cultural meaning of Obangbeon(五方幡, Patākā of Five Directions) and Chilyeoraebeon(七如來幡, Patākā of Seven Buddha), which are enshrined in Sorimsa Temple in Busan, which was built during the Daehan Empire era. Sorimsa Temple was built during the Japanese Colonial Era and is the center of modern Busan’s Popular Buddhim. Patākā is burnt after ritual ceremonies and cannot remain, but Sorimsa’s Patākā offered by the royal family of the Daehan Empire was kept at Sorimsa Temple. Sorimsa　Obangbeon was used for the Buddha’s altar, and Sorimsa　Chilyeoraebeon was used for the Spiritual buttock ritual. Based on the texture and style used in their creation, it is clear that they were made by the royal family of the Daehan Empire. Sorimsa’s Patākā is the Only Material produced by the royal family and offered at temples, and the Jeongbeopgaejineon(淨法界眞言, Mantra to purify the legal world) was written in sanskrit on the head of the Patākā. And it has a relationship with Sunjunghyohwanghu, the Last Empress of the Daehan Empire. Therefore, there is a need for joint research in various fields such as Buddhist studies, history, regional studies, textile studies, and conservation science.
