『대장경』 간행 이후 불교 도깨비 수용 양상

Abstract

This study is to figure out how Buddhist folk tales in Korean Tripitaka affected our dokkaebi characters. Buddhist dokkaebi was imported to Korea in two ways, one of which was as follows : ‘Indian Buddhist scriptures―translating Buddhist scriptures and publishing Tripitaka(大藏經) in China―publishing Tripitaka in Goryeo(高麗)―translating Buddhist scriptures in Joseon(朝鮮) Dynasty’. The other one was that Chinese Buddhist scriptures were accepted in Goryeo as a book called ‘Taepyeongganggi(太平廣記)’It was the publication and translation of Buddhist scriptures that helped dokkaebi culture in Buddhism to affect the terms, figures, characters, and places about dokkaebi. Consequently, it caused literature to accept Buddhism terms like imae(魑魅), mangryang(魍魎), yaksha(夜叉), rakṣasa(羅刹) and dokkaebi’s violent, frightening, transforming and teleporting characters. Mostly, the intellectual classes accepted the dokkaebi culture, and later the working classes absorbed it to a certain degree. A follow-up study on this should be to find out the origin of dokkaebi culture from Buddhist folk tales in Tripitaka.
