Abstract

Tongdo temple is one of the representative temples that the Buddhistic outlook on the universe and the world is well expressed. This article will discuss the expressive and symbolic meaning that Darma talk on vulture peak signifies by contemplating the road leading from Ilju gate to Buddha's hall in terms of Karam arrangement of the temple and the unique plane delineation of Bulee gate. It seems that Darma talk on vulture peak is related to the reason why there is no Buddha statue in Buddha's hall and why the name of the mountain has been changed considering the resemblance of its shape to India's Youngchook mountain. The present study will take this relation into account and will show the religious faith and architectural meaning with respect to this relationship.
