  • This article uncovers the beginning of the Sudhamma Buddhist order tracing its background history. After ascending the throne, being interested in trying to bring back Buddhism to its ancient strength and prosperity, King Mindon paid fully attention in all the religious affairs like King Asoka. Therefore, the different Sangha associations had emerged in his time. It had grown wider and wider and that brought about many adverse effects. During the time of King Thibaw, to reorganize the Sangha associations, he appointed two Supreme Leaders; one for Sudhamma and one for the Rhwekyan Buddhist Order of Monks. Thus the rise of the term of Sudhamma Buddhist Order of Monks became the most popular among the Theravada Buddhist monks. This article, tracing its history, will answer the question that what about any difference between the Sudhamma Buddhist Order and others especially?

  • Following the introduction of Buddhism to China by Xuanzang (玄奘 602-664), the visual tradition of an itinerant monk became a popular subject. This theme developed into a Buddhist figure with an accompanying tiger, especially in Korea where tigers were an object of worship and ritual. This paper examines Korean examples of post-itinerant monk Buddhist figures accompanied by tigers, in particular the portrayal of itinerant monks as arhats and sansins. The supernatural powers of arhats were diverse, and they often tamed the tigers who then accompanied them on their journeys. The arhat, who was introduced during the Unified Silla period and gained popularity during the Goryeo period, was loved by the general public during the Joseon Dynasty as a familiar presence that brought good fortune. Special portraits of monks accompanied by a tiger, known as sansindo (山神圖), form a unique Korean genre. Sansin religious beliefs formed through a fusion of the newly introduced Buddhism and the age-old indigenous worship of sacred mountains and tigers. Most Buddhist temples include a sansin shrine containing on altar with sansin statues and portraits. Tigers in the portraits of itinerant monks and the stories of Buddhist monks who tamed tigers became famous and widely accepted in Korea, a nation already rich in tiger lore. Folklore and indigenous shamanism contributed to the establishment of Buddhism in Korea, and tigers played a central role in this.

  • 조선 전기 줄곧 탄압의 대상이 된 불교는 임진왜란 때 승려들의 승병(僧兵)으로의 참가로 국가로부터 일정한 인정을 받게 되었다. 그러나 한편으로 그 결과의 하나는 많은 사찰들의 소실이란 참화였다. 이에 조선 후기에 들어 사찰의 재건이나 중수를 위해 승려들 스스로가 '${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$사(寺) 건립패(建立牌)'란 걸립 풍물패를 만들어 활동했다. 이러한 이른바 '절걸립패 풍물'은 그 이전부터 있었던 광대들이나 일반 농민들의 정초 집돌이농악 같은 걸립풍물을 흉내낸 것이었다. 조선 후기 절걸립패 풍물의 활동은 전국적으로 이뤄져, 오늘날에도 경북의 빗내농악, 전남 여수, 강진 일대의 '버꾸놀이', 경기 강원 충청의 절걸립패 고사소리, 경기 충청지역의 남사당패의 존재 등으로 그 분명한 모습들을 보여 주고 있다. 이러한 농악들이나 농악과 관계되는 것들에 조선 후기 절걸립패 풍물의 모습들이 분명한 형태들로 남아 있는 것이다. 한편 조선 후기 절걸립패 풍물의 활동이 전국적으로 이뤄졌음에도 불구하고, 조선 후기 절걸립패의 연장에서 생긴 남사당패가 오늘날 경기 충청지역에만 남게 된 것은 조선 후기에 경기도지역의 사찰 건립이 특히 많이 이루어졌기 때문이다. 조선 후기에 들어 전국적으로 또 오랫동안 이루어진 절걸립패 풍물 활동은 종래의 풍물에 많은 영향을 미쳤다. 우리나라의 풍물에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 고깔, 종이꽃, 색띠, 소고, 바라 등 불교적 요소들이 그러한 것들이다. 조선 후기 절걸립패 풍물은 우리나라 풍물사에서 분명 중요한 위치에 있다. 이에 대한 조사 연구들이 앞으로 보다 본격적으로 이뤄져야 한다.

  • In 2010, nearly thirteen hundred Buddhist monks from all over the world converged on to the small Indonesian resort town of Berastagi to celebrate the inauguration of the Taman AlamLumbini, a replica of Myanmar's most iconic Theravada Buddhist temple, the ShwedagonPaya. Nestled on Christian lands within a predominantly Muslim country, the building of the Taman AlamLumbini marked several years of negotiation amongst various religious communities, local government mediators, and patrons. This study makes a preliminary assessment of the ways in which cultural and historical discourses were used by participants to evoke a sense of transnational connectedness outside the realm of formal bilateral diplomacy. Through particular Buddhist ceremonies, rituals, and imagery, Myanmar sponsors and Indonesian patrons promoted a sense of broad pan-Asianism that linked monks, state officials, and local lay practitioners into a single community. A brief examination of the key speeches during the opening ceremony reveals that national interest and identity were still very much in play.

  • This paper is on the Kasaya that reveals conspicuously the religious meaning among the Korean Buddhist costumes. The Kasaya has the most special meaning among Korean costume culture. It has the most important historical value, for Buddhism is the oldest religion that begins at 4th century A.D.. It has the most unordinary shape that we could not find any other costume culture. It has very important meaning to study on the Kasaya in the religious and cultural history of Korean costume. We have to study Korean Kasaya from surveying Indian Buddhist Kasaya diachronicaly. Buddha establishes himself the rules of weaving, coloring and wearing Kasaya. Bunso costume(분소의)is the first shape of Kasaya that he has worn during his ascetic practice. Bunso costume was a kind of shari. It is made with diapers those clean ordure of baby It symbolizes the life of ascetic practice. However Buddha could not stick to it as the only costume of monks. From his age Buddhist devotees have thought Buddha and monks as sacred beings. So they eagerly want to Provide the sacred beings with foods. clothes and other things that samgha(승가) need to live and accomplish their duties. At that time there are many kings, aristocracies and rich merchants among the devotees. They often offered them the luxurious silk Kasaya. that the ascetic monks could not wear. to express their deep faith. So the rules of the samgha has been distorted. The samgha has enlarged day by day as a great huge religious association. There are many different shapes of Kasaya. The Buddhist samgha need to establish a minute and rigid rules of Kasaya to order living of monks and to teach the moral and educational life to ordinary people. That book of rule is Vinaya pitaka(율장) . There are many kinds of Vinaya pitaka. This paper surveys the rules of Kasaya from Southern Vinaya pitaka(남전율장). This study will be the basic ground to research the Korean Buddhist Kasaya.

  • 본 논문의 목적은 광해군 대(代)의 불교정책과 이것의 영향을 받는 불교계의 양상을 검토하는 것이었다. 이것을 통해 조선불교를 "숭유억불"이라고 규정지음으로 인해 드러나지 않았던 광해군 대의 불교가 가진 나름의 영향력과 역동성을 드러내고자 했다. 성리학을 사상적 배경으로 삼았던 조선 시대에 불교는 성리학의 벽이단을 내세운 지배층에 의하여 배척되어야 했고, 이것은 광해군 대에도 마찬가지였다. 그러나 실제로는 지배층이 이중적 불교관을 가지고 있었다. 이러한 지배층의 이중적 불교관은 광해군 대의 불교계의 상황에 영향을 끼쳤다. 임진왜란에서의 전공으로 지배층은 불교의 존재를 인정할 수밖에 없었고, 그 결과 조선에서 불교의 위상이 일정부분 상승했다. 상승한 위상과 임진왜란 때의 경험을 바탕으로 불교계는 보사(報謝)와 구호 활동에 종사했다. 그 결과, 승려의 수는 증가했고, 사찰과 승려의 토지 소유가 허가됨으로써 경제적 상황도 좋아졌다. 이 과정에서 임진왜란은 광해군 대의 불교정책을 좌우하고 불교지형을 변동시킨 역사적 배경이 되었다. 광해군 대에 지배층은 불교를 이단으로 간주하면서도, 임진왜란에 공이 있는 승려들에게 시호를 하사했고, 승려에게 관직을 제수하는 등 일부 승려들을 우대하는 정책을 폈다. 또한, 승려들은 국방, 건축 등 조직력과 물리적 힘을 요구하는 역을 부담하기 시작했다. 그런데 광해군 대까지는 승려들이 부담하는 역에 대하여 일정 부분 보상해서, 승려가 역을 부담하는 것이 불교에 대한 탄압의 면보다는 불교에 대한 용인의 측면이 강했다. 불교정책에 대하여 불교계는 지배층과의 유착과 사찰의 창·재건, 그리고 불교 예술품 제작이라는 양상을 보인다. 지배층과의 유착을 통해 불교계는 광해군 대 불교정책에 적극 호응했고, 이것을 통해 교단을 유지할 수 있었다. 아울러 이러한 모습 속에서 부휴 선수(浮休 善修)와 제자인 벽암 각성(碧巖 覺性)의 부휴계가 불교계에서 주도권을 가지기 시작했음도 확인된다. 광해군 대의 불교정책은 지배층의 이중적 불교관과 좋아진 측면과 악화된 측면이 공존하는 불교계의 상황을 배경으로 시행되었다. 지배층은 불교의 조직력을 전후(戰後) 복구와 국방, 토목 공사에 적극적으로 활용하였고, 이에 따른 적절한 보상을 시행했다. 불교계 역시 지배층과의 교류를 바탕으로 불교정책에 호응하였고, 사찰과 예술품을 보수하고 제작하였다. 광해군 대의 불교정책과 대응을 살펴보면, 조선 불교에 대한 일반적 묘사인 "숭유억불"로 설명할 수 없는 불교의 조직력과 영향력이 확인된다.

  • Near the Capital Seoul in 19th century, a special architectural form was created by the Buddhist monks who were related with Royal families. Their temples, so called 'won-dang', were constructed as supplicating places for their patrons' happiness and heavenly bliss. Among buildings of a Won-dang temple, 'Great Hall', which was accepted as a new building type, was the most important, the earliest constructed, and the biggest one. This boiling type contained the complex functions of small chaples, living rooms of monks, kitchen and dining, and pilotied pavillions. This Great Hall was located at the front of Won-dang temples, the main worship halls were at the behind. The type of Won-dang was needed for the high female who were its powerful patrons, and was oliginated from the small Buddhist temples in rural areas. And the type was able to be domiciled itself at the Capital areas because of the existing architectural fondness of the regional architects and the patrons in high class.

  • Objectives: This study was designed to find out factors that are needed to be improved for the Buddhist training environment of Sramanera Sramanerika monks, who have been newly adapted for their life style after becoming a monk, and to provide basic data for the development of the standard diet in Buddhist temples. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was applied to 365 Sramanera Sramanerika monks at 11 Buddhist monk universities. The questionnaire was designed to investigate their dietary habits, dietary evaluation, satisfaction of food service, and food preferences. Results: The study population consisted of 52.6% men, and 47.4% women. The subjects who had a vegetarian diet before joining the Buddhist priesthood were 27.7% women, and 13.5% men (p<0.01). 42.2% of the total subjects felt that they are healthy now and 19.4% felt weak. The most difficulty of dieting adaptation as soon as entering the priesthood was the strict diet rules (42.9%). The subjects considered health or nutrition (40.0%) highly when having meals. 94.8% women, 84.1% men ate breakfast every day (p<0.001). Women (55.4%) frequently ate snacks more than men (26.6%) (p<0.001). The results of the dietary evaluation indicated that the intake of milk, soy milk or dairy products and beans or tofu received lower than 3 points and women had lower point result than men (p<0.001). Foods with higher preference were grilled mushrooms, grilled laver, miso stew, sweet and sour mushrooms, steamed tofu with seasoning. Conclusions: Women were more interested in their health than men but they also required to improve the nutritional eating habits. It appeared that the lower intake rates of the calcium containing food (milk and dairy), and proteins (beans and tofu) could result in nutritional imbalance. Therefore, it is necessary to offer food based on the standard menu plan with consideration given to their food preferences in order to maintain their health and desirable dietary habits.

  • Sauna, or hanjeung (汗蒸) is a physical sweating method that uses external heat to forcibly raise body temperature to treat cold damage disorders (傷寒) in traditional Korean medicine. This study focuses on the fact that the sauna was recorded as a healing and bathing method on the Vinaya Pitaka (律藏), and investigates the records of folk sauna therapy of Joseon Dynasty from the perspective of Buddhist medicine which played a significant role in ancient medicine history in Korea. Although the word 'hanjeung (汗蒸)' first appeared in "The Veritable Records of King Sejong (世宗實錄)" in the Korean literature, this study aims to confirm the possibility that the tradition of Buddhist sauna bathing has already existed since the Three Kingdoms period in Korea, based on the fact that sauna bathing was recorded in the Vinaya Pitaka and that the ancient Buddhist bathing culture was introduced in ancient Japan. In addition, the succession of the Buddhist sauna tradition by Goryeo will be traced back through the records of 1920s urban saunas in Gaesung (개성) which was the old capital of Goryeo and had a strong tendency to adhere to traditional Goryeo customs. Finally, the study tries to identify the elements of the Buddhist sauna bathing on the records of folk sauna therapy in the Joseon Dynasty. As a result, this study examines how the Buddhist sauna bathing culture in ancient Korea, which was led by medical monks, spread in the general public and influenced the folk sauna therapy in the Joseon Dynasty.

  • 혜교(慧皎)는 중국에 불교가 전래되어 널리 퍼지고 자리를 잡는 과정에서 큰 기여를 한 고승들의 업적을 기리기 위해서 『고승전(高僧傳)』을 저술했다. 혜교는 열 개의 과목을 설정해 행적들을 세분했는데, 이른바 '십과(十科)' 체재다. 이 십과는 고승전이 불교사서로서 의의를 갖게 해주는 중요한 틀이다. 『고승전』을 이어 저술된 『속고승전(續高僧傳)』, 『송고승전(宋高僧傳)』, 『대명고승전(大明高僧傳)』 등이 십과 체재를 따른 데서 확인된다. 그러나 십과는 고승전 저자들의 인식과 의도에 따라 형태에서 변화를 겪었다. 도선은 『속고승전』에서 일부 과목들의 명칭을 바꾸고 새로운 과목을 추가했으며, 찬녕은 『송고승전』에서 『속고승전』의 십과를 그대로 이으면서 각 과목에 새로운 의미를 부여했다. 뒤늦게 『대명고승전』을 편찬한 여성은 세 과목만 남기고 일곱 과목을 없앴다. 십과의 체재는 형태뿐만 아니라 의미에서도 변화가 있었다. 혜교가 교화를 중시했다면, 도선은 '수행'과 '실천'을 강조했고 찬녕은 '지혜' 와 '깨달음'을 강조했다. 여성은 십과의 붕괴를 보여주면서 불교가 쇠퇴하고 있었던 상황을 담아냈다. 이렇게 각 고승전의 십과에 각기 다른 의미가 부여되었다는 것은 저자들이 불교사를 각기 다르게 인식했다는 뜻이기도 하다. 따라서 중국 불교사의 전개 과정이 일부 반영되었으리라고 생각된다. 물론 각 고승전의 내용을 다양한 측면에서 심도 있게 분석해 비교하는 작업이 뒤따라야 한다
