『大毘盧遮那經供養次第法疏』의 일본 전래와 계승의 의미-『大日經供養次第法疏私記』를 중심으로

Abstract

This study examines the significance of Commentary of Mahāvairocana-Sūtra's Rites‘s(『大毘盧遮那經供養次第法疏』) intellectual values, written by a monk of Silla, Bulgasaui(不可思議) in the 8th century. It had a huge impact on Japanese monks until the 14th century. Commentary of Vairocana-Sūtra's Rites was written by the monks Bulgasaui of Silla. Bulgasaui directly asked Mahāvairocana-Sūtra(大日經)'s translator and his teacher, Śubhakarasiṃha(善無畏), for the meaning of the Mahāvairocana-sūtra Vol.Ⅶ, and recorded Śubhakarasiṃh's response. Bulgasaui's Commentary of Mahāvairocana-Sūtra's Rites is very valuable because it is the only annotation on the Mahāvairocana-sūtra Vol.Ⅶ and the first annotation on the Mahāvairocana-sūtra with Illhaeng(一行)'s Commentary of Mahāvairocana-Sūtra(大毘盧遮那成佛經疏). However, since there is no record of ideological inheritance of Bulgasaui's commentary, there is a limit to the progress of the study of Bulgasaui's Commentary. Therefore, in this article, I changed my perspective to Japan. Therefore, I examined the Transmission of the Bulgasaui's commentary to Japan and examines the perspective of understanding the Bulgasaui's commentary in Japan. In particular, The Individual Commentary of Bulgasaui's Commentary of Mahāvairocana-Sūtra's Rites(大日經供養次第法疏私記) of 13th-century Japanese monks, Yubum(宥範) is commentary on the entire Bulgasaui's Commentary. Therefore, it is an important writing that can improve the understanding of the Bulgasaui's Commentary. So I studied the system and features of the book. As a result, it was confirmed that Bulgasaui's Commentary was introduced to Japan in the 8th century and many studies on the Bulgasaui's Commentary were carried out by various scholar monk until the 14th century. Yubum valued Bulgasaui's Commentary and respected how the Bulgasaui interpreted the Mahāvairocana-sūtra Vol.Ⅶ. He also focused on the description for the performer of practice of esoteric Buddhism, like Bulgasaui.
