수륙재의례와 일반대중 범패 -대만 수륙법회와 산동적산원 불교의식을 통하여-

Abstract

There is a 21st century movement toward cultralize in formal buddhist ceremony. The repeatedly referenced Suryukjae of the order of Jogye is said to chime with this tendency. There is an implied sense in the ceremonies of other orders that performance is more of a feature than devotion. Regretfully, the essence of buddhism might be said to have been sidelined. However the Jogye temple obeisance of Suryukjae, in which the monks retain a sincere fealty to the beauty of formal practice, the Chinese classics, and religious texts, resonates with the authenticity of direct group participation. One point of contention, however, might concern the fact that the ceremony is conducted exclusivley by professional monks. This study examines the Taiwanese Suryuk, in which there is a role for the public(the participators) in performing door chants, in order to excavate the role of the people in traditional ceremony. The first line of the Suryuk “core orders”(Jisim-gimyoeng-rye) chant, for example, begins with a solo performed by a monk to be chorussed by public attendees. Furthermore, the practice of the “sandongjogsanbobhwawon” during the unified Silla period of Korean history included monks and the public intoning beompae together. Before the temple purification movement, it was standard for new monks to sing the simple 350 韓國禪學 제35호beompae. In These days some temples, the public would join with the old and high priest in chanting “Merciful Buddha, save us.” but it is very rarely. I demonstrate in this study that there have traditionally been Buddhist ceremony chants reciting the sutra or ritual texts, calling in refrain for Bodhisattva, amongst others, in which the monks and common believers enjoined. A future oreiented approach to propagating Buddhism will revive the traditions of popular participation in the Suryukjae.
