조선후기 송광사 중흥과 백암 성총(栢庵 性聰)

Abstract

The reason that Songgwangsa Temple was able to have the value and status of Korea's representative temple was the reconstruction of the ruined temple after the Japanese Invasion of Korea. Songgwangsa Temple has inherited the tradition of training that had been cut off with the restoration of Buhyu Seonsu(浮休 善修) and Byeokam Gakseong(碧巖 覺性). The disciples of BuHyu and Byeok-Am wanted to inherit the spiritual spirit of Bojo Jinul. In particular, their descendants, Baekam Seongchong, not only did not forget the last words of their teachers who asked for the restoration of Jogye Comprehensive Temples, but also popularized Buddhism in the Buddhist world of the time. First of all, he built a memorial for Bojo Jinul and the Gamro Stupa for the Honorable State Preceptor Bojo(普照國師甘露塔碑), which contain the history of Songgwang Temple, and then found the stolen relic of National Master BoJo and placed it in the temple. It was intended to promote and inherit the Buddhist historical values ​​of Songgwang Temple. In 1681, Baekam published the Tripitaka Koreana which was carried on a shipwreck, which played a decisive role not only in the development of Buddhist studies but also in systematizing the education of the monks. efforts for the restoration of Songgwang Temple in Baekam were handed down to later generations. Descendants of Muyong(無用) → Yeonghae (影海) → Pungam (楓巖) → Mukam (黙庵) lit up the the Heritages of Master Bojo(普照遺風), and continued efforts to revitalize Buddhism in Buhyu and Byeokam.
