What should death be like for a deeply venerated or highly prominent Buddhist monastic? This question itself does not just pertain to death rituals, funerals, or cremations but also to the entire process, as understood within the tradition, of leaving this realm and entering into another. It is in all of these aspects that something exceptional should be highlighted to exemplify accomplishments of the given individual's religious life, and draw attention to the profound spiritual attainment of that figure that devotees believe lies beyond what is achievable by ordinary humans. The recent death of Venerable Hsing Yun, the founder of Fo Guang Shan, led to plentiful discussions in Taiwanese society from people of all walks of life, spanning scholars to media and citizens. This study will reveal the peculiarities of this interesting case, mainly as it relates to the late master's mortuary rites. In doing so, other monastics who passed away in contemporary times will be brought up for comparison. In addition to its notable innovations and creativity, the focal case of the mortuary rites for Hsing Yun manifests the tension between traditional and modern Buddhist ideologies and practices; especially as these tensions unfold within the Humanistic Buddhist context.

Korean funeral customs are an important part of the mourning process in Korea. A survey was conducted in the southern part by the Nak-dong river, centered around the city of Busan to examine Korean funeral rites. This study was conducted with survey research. The target population included 234 teachers and experienced the death of a family member within the last three years. Results showed that they presented their condolences 5 to 6 times on average per year. Funeral rites were performed usually at a hospital funeral hall. The preference of burial to cremation was about the same. According to the survey, funeral expenses averaged 9,570,000 won and donations received for funeral expenses, 12,630,000 won. Problems the respondents expressed about the process included large funeral expenses, the decision whether to bury or cremate, and fatigue from staying up all night. When classified according to the demographic characteristics, there were significant differences in the variables. Frequency of attending funerals depended on gender, age, and health status. Condolence style depended on religion. The type of funeral (burial or cremation) depended on family income. The type of reception depended on gender. Funeral expenses depended on the age Second, in the process of preparing for a family member's death, they thought it was important to prepare a funeral ceremony portrait of the deceased and a scroll by themselves, and the preparation

In this study, we attempted to elucidate the cultural characteristics of Korean food based on a traditional understanding on the Korean novel. To achieve this, food characteristics related to 'rites of passage' were analyzed in the representative Korean literary work "Hon-bool", which describes the life of a first-son's wife every three generations in the going to ruin but historic 'Lee's family of Maean district' family and the life of the common 'Geomeong-gul' people who lived with farming on the Lee's land at Namwon of Junbook province in the 1930~1940s, during the Japanese Colonial rule. Every nation possesses rites of passage at important points in life, such as at birth, age of majority, wedding and death. Korean culture, in particular, has several memorial rites relating to birth, death and passage into the afterlife in which special foods are prepared. In this manner, ceremonial foods represent the Korean peoples' traditional vision of the universe and life. The book "Hon-bool" describes these traditions. Especially, the book describes the table-settings related to the main character's childbirth, first birthday, wedding and death. Therefore "Hon-bool" represents a living history of Korean traditional food and the work of storytelling through the traditional understanding is expected that perform an important role in making of cultural contents of Korean foods.

본 연구는 사회변화와 의례 변화의 관계성을 분석하고 그 연관성에 의해 유교상례와 현대의례의 차이점을 밝히고자 하는 데 목적이 있다. 또한 시대별 의례의 변화과정을 제도의 변화와 연결하여 살펴보았다. 상례의 시대구분을 전근대기 '유교상례'와 일제강점기를 통한 '근대 상례기' 그리고 1999년 건전가정의례준칙의 시행과 함께 의례 자본에 의한 '현대 상례기'로 구분하여 분석하였다. 의례의 이해는 시대구분을 통해 전통의 계승이라는 논리적 모순에서 벗어나 전근대에서 근대상례, 현대상례로 이어지는 과정을 통해 이해되어야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 한국인의 죽음에 대한 인식은 의례의 변화와 지속이라는 관점에서 볼 때 시대상을 반영하여 지속되고 있음을 고찰하는 데 의의가 있다.

Funeral rites relate to the last ceremonies involving the process of human beings moving from this world to the other world, becoming part of a life which remarkably reflects the world after death. They can be said to be the best culture created by the conception of death. The ceremonies of mourning, or ubiquitius folk phenomena of all the ages from the ancient times to modern times, represent the mass belief of each nation in spiritual worlds as well as the feelings of individuals facing death. In so far as their methods are concerned, the ceremonies vary in accordance with ages, nations, regions and culture. The practices of today\`s funeral rites conducted in the West have been formed and changed throughout its long history. Now that the ceremonies are a combination of complicated cultures, they serve as an important tool for inquiring into the spiritual life of the people of an age in question and the pictures of the society concerned. Therefore this paper is designed to look into the culture of shrouds showing respect for the dead in the West. With the view of examining death, and grave clothes for them, but also with the spiritual culture of human beings in relation to death represented in their pictures. I resort to literature and materials related to the shrouds of the dead which appeared in a period from the Medieval Age to the 19th century.

To determine which are the culturally specific factors of Korean bereavement, this chapter focuses on the view of death and the traditional mourning process which reflect Korean values and norms. The formation of the Korean view and understanding of death has been strongly influenced by three of its major traditional religions: Shamanism, Buddhism, and Confucianism (Park:1994: Hao:1999) and Christianity more recently. Each religion has a different view of death and the appropriate expression of mourning. Korea accommodates funeral customs and rules strictly as a cultural system and has retained these traditions over a long period; hence, some of the traditional funeral rituals still remain in modern Korean life, although some of the rites have been simplified. We have looked at the various ways in which grief and mourning is displayed and shared in a collective manner over a long period of time. This fits in well within the other Eastern cultures that are collectively organized, and contrary to the Eurocentric models do not hastily seek to detach the living from the dead and recognize that grief is a long process, and different individuals may take different amounts of time to recover from the grief. The view of death and bereavement in Korea has sprung from the roots of three Korean religions, together with the recent addition of Christianity, although they mainly result from the three earlier religions. The beliefs of these religions are still closely linked together in the rituals of Korean bereavement on both conscious and unconscious levels. The influence of these religions is evident in practice through the bereaved family's mourning reactions, funeral rites and customs and its views about death. Korea used to have a period of mourning for three years, following traditional mourning rites; then the chief mourner and the bereaved families could return to their normal life. In spite of this long mourning process for the bereaved family, once the funeral ceremony is finished, people expect the bereaved family not to express their grief in public; even the bereaved family does not like to talk about death. The process for bereaved people is related to mourning processes in terms of detachment from the deceased in order to start a new life. Relatives and the community recommend the performance of the kut ceremony for relieving the grief of the bereaved. When one family member dies in an unlucky way, the bereaved family may have some fear or other psychological reactions of grief such as pain, depression, insomnia and nightmares, hallucinations or other physical reactions. Unlucky deaths give the bereaved a very painful time and these types of reactions are often more serious than reactions to natural death. But through the kut ceremony, the bereaved family can start to make a new relationship with the deceased. The taboo of this type of death and death generally remains a crucial aspect of the isolation that bereaved people might face and the collective nature of mourning(even where it is still present) is unable to address this aspect of the privatization of grief.

본 연구는 전통사회와 현대를 이어주는 제례(祭禮)가 의례(儀禮)의 전승(傳乘)이라는 관점에서 제례진설에 나타난 상징성의 의미를 분석하고자 한다. 전통의례의 삶과 죽음에 대한 유교적 생사관과 사상적 바탕이 되었던 음양오행론, 우주구조의 이해와 사시(四時)의 변화로 나타난다. 제사상의 진설이 조상의 존재를 인정하고 상징체계를 통해 산 자와 죽은 자가 시간과 공간적으로 소통하는 의례적 도구로 이해하였다. 또한 사계절과 하늘·땅·지하의 공간을 제수(祭需)의 선정과 배열을 통해 상징화하고 구체화하였다. 현대 제례진설에서 위치를 결정하는 요인은 대상에 대한 시·공간적 분석을 필요로 한다. 이는 제물이 기능적 역할 뿐만 아니라 제물을 통해 표현하고자 하는 시·공간적 상징성으로 이해되기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 제례진설에 나타난 사상적 배경과 상징체계에 대한 논의를 통해 제례문화의 계승이라는 관점에서 고찰하는데 의의가 있다.

The system of washing and shrouding a dead body is a series of procedures for encoffining in funeral rites, which are taken after death indentification by using CHOKWANG and praying for the resurrection of a dead body by calling a soul departed from the body. The washing and shrouding a dead body (hereinafter reffered to as "YEOMSEUP") is the broad concept which contains the procedures of washing, clothing and shrouding the body. The clothing includes washing, putting rices into the mouth. and then dressing while the shrouding includes first wrapping, second-wrapping and encoffining. The clothes for YEOMSEUP (all clothes and articles for funeral rites are designated) will be put in the coffin along with a dead body according to the YEOMSEUP procedures. Dasan, a SILHAK scholar in the late Yi Dynasty, pointed out some problems of the funeral rites observed in those days. At the same time, he found that the problems had arisen from the misinterpretation of the original descriptions in Chinese characters. and had tried to correct them. The books written by Dasan basically emphasized his ideology reshaping the whole procedures by trimming and removing meaningless formalities which are too much luxurious and wasteful and making them as a part of the original principles of the funeral rites. His Intents are clearly shown in his wrings on practical ettiquttes, such as SANGRYESAJON and SANGUIJEOLYO. In its attempt, this study aims at reformulating the DASAN\\`s SANGRYESAJON in terms of YEOMSEUP methods. A lot of virtues of the Dasan, like WOOSU, SIMUI, DAEDAE, MO, SORYUMHYO and DAERYUMHYO could also be found accordingly. The merits and characteristic in funeral rites are an obedience in filial duty, the pursuit of frugality. and the efficiency of practical functions. It could be said that the resurvey of DASAN′s theory on YEOMSEUP procedures is a meaningful work today when the original meaning of funeral rites fades out. Furthermore, discussions of refined burial service and encouraging cremation designed to improve land use, which are widely spread among people, could weaken the basic philosophy of YEOMSEUP and more likely propagate the atmosphere of despising the dignity of human beings.

본고는 구사당 김낙행의 제문이 갖는 호소력의 근원에 대한 탐색을 목적으로 한 연구이다. 구사당은 18세기 영남의 유학자로서 지행합일과 실천궁행의 학덕으로 칭송받은 분이다. 구사당의 제문과 그의 스승인 밀암 이재의 서찰은 '구제밀찰'이라는 별호가 붙여질 정도였지만 현재 구사당의 제문에 대한 연구 성과는 전무하다. 이에 본고에서는 구사당의 제문 가운데 감정 표현이 특히 풍부한 3편을 논의 대상으로 했다. 제2장에서는 '미시적 관점에서 기억의 재구'라는 제목하에 구사당의 제문이 호소력을 갖춘 한 편의 작품으로 거듭날 수 있었던 이유를 밝혔다. 산 자와 죽은 자가 공유할 수 있는 기억이 존재하는 데서 제문은 시작된다. 고인과의 일화가 제문이라는 무대에서 상세하게 재구성되는 데는 저자의 기억이 큰 역할을 한다. 제3장에서는 '고조된 감수성의 수사적 재구'라는 제목으로 제문에 필요한 수사적 장치에 대해 살펴보았다. 제문의 격을 높이고 독자의 공감을 이끌어내기 위해서는 적절한 수사가 필요하다. 제문은 양식적 특성상 슬픔을 드러내는 글이지만 단순히 감정의 배출구가 되어서는 곤란하다. 제4장에서는 '애상적 분위기의 서사적 재구'에 대해서 살펴보았다. 세상에 존재하지 않는 대상을 향한 산 자의 손짓이 호소력 있는 이야기가 되기 위해서는 서술의 초점이 분명해야 한다. 구사당은 서술 방식을 명확히 한 상태에서 고인의 인품과 안타까운 죽음, 지난 시절의 인연과 남은 자의 그리움을 체계적으로 정리했다. 제문은 글을 통해 고인을 애도하고, 산 자의 슬픔을 재현하는 장이다. 이렇게 재현된 글이 제문으로서의 기능을 다하기 위해서는 호소력을 지녀야 한다. 본고에서는 제문의 생명이라 할 수 있는 이러한 호소력이 진정성에 바탕을 두고 있다는 사실을 확인했다.
