고려후기 백련사와 송 천태종 교류―진정국사와 송 延慶寺의 교류를 중심으로―

Abstract

This paper analyzes the exchange activities between Baekryeonsa and Song Yanqingsi through the genealogy of the Chief Priests and other related data in the late Goryeo dynasty, focusing on the data contained in Hosanrok of JinJeong-guksa, the 4th Chief Priest of Baekryeonsa. The first record of exchanges between Goryeo Buddhist circles and Yanqingsi was between Ui-cheon and Mingzhi-zhongli (明智中立) and then there were exchanges between Goryeo envoys and Yuanzhao-fanguang (圓照梵光) in 1126, ‘ChoiSeungsang (崔丞相)’ and Foguang-fazhao (佛光法照) during the Military Vassal Regime, and Jinjeong-guksa and Fa-yan (法言) in 1258-1262. JinJeong-guksa interacted with Yanqingsi through Suseonsa’s Tag-yeon, and Fa-yan’s teacher was Foguang-fazhao, who led the Buddhist world in the Southern Song dynasty. Fazhao was a high-ranking member of Official Priet (僧官) and was closely related to the Southern Song regime. Choi Yi, who led the government during the Goryeo Dynasty, is believed to have interacted with Fazhao, as well as political and diplomatic exchanges other than Buddhist exchanges. In 1258, through Suseonsa’s Tag-yeon, Jinjeong-guksa received the 「Bulseolmyeong」, 「Josachan」, and 「Jeongtowon-gi」 from Yanqingsi, and in 1262 received the 「Beophwa-supumchan」 written by the Buddhist monks of Yanqingsi. In particular, Jinjeong-guksa wrote 「Beophwa-supumchan」 and sent it to Yanqingsi. It is presumed that exchanges between Baekryeonsa and Yanqingsi were cut off around 1270 after the exchange of the 「Beophwa-supumchan」 by Jinjeong-guksa. This is related to the stagnation of Baekryeonsa, which can be attributed to the domestic situation in Goryeo, such as the relocation of the capital to Gaegyeong by the Goryeo government and the stationing of Sambyeolcho in Jindo.
