조선 명종대 星州 安峯寺의 儒佛儀禮

Abstract

I tried to analyze the Confucian and Buddhist rituals performed at Anbongsa(安峯寺) as a nationally certified temple in the reign of King Myeongjong of Joseon Dynasty. For this analysis, this paper examined the historical records on the Anbongsa(安峰寺) in the mukjaeilgi(默齋日記), Confucian literati Lee Mun-Gwon(李文楗, 1495~1567)’ diary. First, the Lee family of Seongju(星州 李氏) hold the ancestral rites regularly in Anbongsa each February on the basis of Confucian traditions. But, Anbongsa-Sambo(三寶) in charge of temple affairs prepared food for ancestral rites table, and during the ritual they used a Buddhist tea instead of Confucian alcohol. Moreover, Anbongsa-Sambo assisted Hungwan(獻官) and performed ancestral rites exceptionally. Second, when a vihara in Anbongsa was constructed and Buddhist ceremony(法會) was held, Lee Mun-Gwon prayed for his ancestors, and he wrote a gimun(記文) in relation to Buddhist temple construction. Especially, he made a Chondojae(薦度齋) to be performed for his dead son in Anbongsa’s Dharma Hall(法堂). If the memorial ceremony could not be performed because of infectious diseases or funeral affairs, Lee had offerings of food on anniversary of the dead(忌日施食) to be held. From these historical facts, we can conclude that Anbongsa was the symbolic place showing the cultural and religious coexistence of Buddhism and Confucianism in the 16th century.
