  • Background and objective: Plants in temples are the results of cultural symbolization that embraces the experience and enlightenment of humans about life. As a way to improve the acceptance of the foreign religion, China gave cultural symbolization to plants in temple gardens through integration with traditional cultures and the understanding of the nature of plants themselves. This study aimed to identify cultural symbolism and signs of acculturation associated with Buddhist plants, targeting Bolisu, the most essential and symbolic plant in temple garden forests in China and Korea. Methods: The morphological and ecological characteristics of plants, functions, the texts that contained the history of Buddhism and literary works were examined through literature review, and the relation of Ficus religiosa with its planting conditions and nature, and Buddhist culture was explored. In addition, the cultural value of Buddhist plants themselves in establishing temples and the reason why Bolisu was planted in temples were reviewed through time series analysis. The obtained results were interpreted using an inductive method to identify substitutes for F. religiosa, cultural symbolism and signs of acculturation. Results: F. religiosa as one of the three holy trees and the five trees and six flowers in Buddhism is known as the original Bolisu. Since it grows well and is widely distributed in regions that accepted Indian Buddhism, it became the most representative holy tree in Buddhism. From the perspective of tree shape and nature, F. religiosa is in line with the Buddhist spirit of saving those in need with mercy and redeeming mankind, and figuratively shows that perfection can be attained like the fruit of Bolisu. Chines Buddhism had adopted highly symbolic plants for a long period of time as a means to spread the same belief and doctrines as Indian Buddhism. In China, however, there were only limited areas suitable for the growth of F. religiosa, and for this reason, borrowed Bolisu trees including Tilia. miqueliana, T. mandshurica and T. amurensis and other plants such as F. virens Ait. var. sublanceolata, G. biloba and M. alba were planted as a substitute in most regions, having been given with symbolism and belief as Bolisu. Conclusion: Chinese Buddhism planted the same plants as Indian Buddhism in order to enhance symbolism and also similar substitutes to express the same symbolism. This is a kind of acculturation and its influence and customs were not limited to China, but were introduced to Korea, The difference between China and Korea was that G. biloba was excluded from the substitute for Bolisu in Korea.

  • 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.

  • 본 논문은 공주 마곡사 명부전에 봉안된 불상에 관한 문헌 검토와 양식적인 접근을 통하여 목조지장보살좌상과 석조시왕상의 제작 시기 및 조각승에 대해 살펴보고자 한 연구이다. 명부전 내에는 목조지장보살좌상을 중심으로 석조무독귀왕과 도명존자가 서 있고, 벽면을 따라 시왕상 및 권속 등이 배치되어 있다. 이 불상들은 1930년대 후반에 목조지장보살좌상은 청양 정혜사에서, 도명존자와 무독귀왕 및 시왕상 등은 임실 신흥사에서, 시왕도는 논산 정토사에서 옮겨온 것이다. 이제까지 마곡사 명부전 목조지장보살좌상은 석조시왕상 조성 시기인 1677년에 함께 제작된 것으로 알려져 있지만, 이목구비에서 풍기는 인상, 신체 비례, 착의법 등을 살펴보면, 17세기 전반에 활동한 수연(守衍)이나 그 계보에 속하는 조각승이 1620~30년대 만든 불상일 가능성이 높다. 특히 하반신을 덮은 대의자락의 두 번째 주름이 수직으로 늘어지고 끝자락이 하트 모양으로 마무리된 점과 그 옷주름을 중심으로 좌우 대칭을 이루며 낮게 펼쳐진 옷주름 처리 방식은 수연이 제작한 서천 봉서사불상(1619년)이나 익산 숭림사 불상(1634년, 옥구 보천사 조성)과 유사하다. 석조시왕상과 권속 등은 1677년에 조각승 성일(性日)이 수화승으로 제작한 것을 조성발원문을 통해 알 수 있지만, 성일이 수화승으로 만든 유일한 불상이고, 같이 제작에 참여한 작가들의 활동을 정확히 알 수 없어 새로운 자료가 공개되어야 구체적인 조각승의 계보가 밝혀질 것이다. 기존 연구에서 성일이 불상 제작과 중수에 참여한 활동을 살펴보면, 혜희(慧熙) 계보 또는 운혜(雲惠)(운혜(雲慧)) 계보에 속하는 조각승들과 함께 공동 작업을 하여 두 조각승 집단과 밀접한 관련성이 있을 것으로 추정된다. 마곡사 시왕상은 호남이나 영서 지역에서 주로 제작되는 흙이나 나무가 아니라 돌로 제작되었으며, 영남에서 유행한 시왕상의 형태나 착의법 등과 유사하여 호남보다 영남에서 주로 활동한 조각승들의 작품으로 보인다. 앞으로 충남 지역 목조지장보살좌상과 석조시왕상의 체계적인 조사가 이루어진다면 조성 시기와 작가에 관한 심층적인 분석이 가능할 것이다. 그리고 이러한 특징들에 대한 분석이 진행된다면, 17세기 후반 영남 지역 석조불상과의 비교를 통해 호남에서 제작된 석조불상을 주도적으로 만든 조각승과 활동 내용이 밝혀질 것이다.

  • 본 연구는 태안 태을암 마애불사원을 중심으로 한 백화산의 장소성과 문화경관 특성을 조사 분석하여 이 지역 일대에 산재하거나 내재된 경관에 대한 표현방식과 그 의미를 논의함으로써, 백화산 일대의 경관지리코드와 종교적 장소 관성을 조명하고자 하였다. 경관대상 백화산의 입지성과 골산(骨山)으로의 특이성 못지않게 백화산을 시점장(視點場)으로 조망되는 파노라믹한 서해 조망은 관음도량으로서의 백화산의 성격을 잘 보여준다. 고지도와 신증동국여지승람에서 중요하게 읽혀지는 고성(古城)과 봉대(烽臺) 그리고 태을암은 조선조 백화산의 장소정체성의 핵심을 이루고 있으며, 어풍대, 영사대 등 다수의 각자(바위글씨)는 이 산의 조망성과 장소 특성에 기인한 기념성을 잘 보여준다. 그리고 신증동국여지승람에 보이는 단군 영정의 태일전 이안(移安) 사실은 백화산이 갖는 국가적 위상도 미루어 짐작할 수 있으며, 삼성각에 봉안된 단군 영정 등을 통해 토착 종교와 공생하며 오랜 시간 이어져온 보편적 지역성도 공유하고 있음을 알수 있다. 그러나 무엇보다도 태을암에 모셔진 백제시대 불상인 태안마애삼존불은 관음신앙의 도량인 백화산의 존재이유이자 상징체가 아닐 수 없다. 그러한 장소성에도 불구하고 태을암 마애불 전면에 조성된 '태을동천' 각자를 중심으로 한 계류 및 연못공간인 일소계와 감모대 그리고 그 위에 새겨진 암각바둑판과 조선 중기 이후 유학자들에 의해 이루어진 다수의 각자 흔적을 통한 도가적 문화현상 또한 동일한 무게로 읽혀지는 것은 조선말기 팽배된 유불선의 합일사상이 기저에 있었기에 가능한 것이었다. 이와 같은 다양한 문화경관의 혼재사유는 백화산이 갖는 종교적 장소 관성이 꾸준히 유전하면서 시대정신에 습합해온 결과가 아닐 수 없으며, 백화산에 산재된 여러 유형의 문화경관요소는 태안 백화산의 다층적 장소성과 경관 특성을 이해하기 위한 고유의 지리코드로 이해된다.

  • This study is to find out the characteristics of the changes of the site layout in Beopjusa which was built on Maitreya faith in the Shilla.. According to the analysis of it in this study, we make conclusions as follows; 1) The reconstruction of Beopjusa means a start in Dhamalsama(法相宗) and then it was supposed to be Buddhist temple which was formed by intersecting axis of centering around a wooden pagoda(捌相殿) with a main Buddhist hall and a lecture hall. 2) After the middle of Koryo dynasty, Beopjusa was changed to building layout of intersecting with Yongwabojeon(龍華寶殿) and Daeungbojeon(大雄寶殿) because of harmony with Avatamsaka(華嚴宗) and Dhamalsama centering around Avatamsaka. 3) The buildings of Zen Buddhism was built in the early Chosun dynasty owing to a prevalence of Zen Buddhism in the late Koryo dynasty. And since 17th century, Buddhist halls were each built in their a faith system according to interpenetrated Buddhism(通佛敎). 4) The courtyard type of mountainous district was made on interpenetrated Buddhism. On the other hand, the site layout of Beopjusa is being maintained by centripetal spatial organization through the wooden pagoda as object.

  • Bulguk Temple, one of the national temples, sublimated the high formalism and symbolism into lovely art, and thus be called the pinnacle of Korean architecture. Of many characteristic structures of Bulguk Temple, the stone stereobate and stairs have a great importance in that we can read out the purpose of the architect through their relics. Especially, the stone stairs are noteworthy for they structuralize the intentional space division. The objects of this observation are Yeonwhagyo and Chilbogyo bridges at the entrance of Keungnakjeon precinct, and Cheongwoongyo and Baekwoongyo stairs at the entrance of Daewoongjun precinct. All these relics are the structures that divide the precinct areas on the basis of Buddhist theory and have strong symbolic meanings as well. Although the diverse studies have made on the structures, there are many insufficient aspects for the manifestation of the meanings. In this study, I considered the Buddhist dogmatic meanings of the structures in the formalistic view of the Buddhist architecture. The study was proceeded in the way that the establishments of former studies were fully reflected in it. Through the study, I could confirm that the objects of consideration have the double formalistic meanings and they are strongly structuralizing the symbolism.

  • It is very important to evaluate predictable problems diversely such as stability of a tunnel and structures when tunnel is inevitably constructed in the area where is adjacent to a structure and low overburden. Double electrified railway design on the third section of Donghae-Nambu line studied in this paper has some problems mentioned above. So more careful works are required before construction. In this study, ground surrounding is composed of faults, fault zone and set back about 13m from a Buddhist temple located on the upper part of the tunnel. From these conditions, this case study presents proper methods considering ground condition, effects of blasting and civil petitions. It is tried to make the tunnel and Buddhist temple stable by analytical technique and analysis of existing cases. And design considering stability of tunnel and adjacent structure during operation is carried out as well. Especially, environmentally friendly railway tunnel which is appropriate to the local condition and surroundings is designed by minimizing noise and vibration that is able to occur during construction and train service. From now on, this study is helpful to better design in the case of tunnel design which has to consider civil petition.

  • Due to a mistranslation of Sanskrit to Chinese, East Asian Buddhist community misunderstands the original meaning of the fundamental word, 'sachal(寺刹)'. Sanskrit chattra, a parasol on top of a venerated Indian stupa buried with Buddha's sarira, became the symbol of majesty. The Indian stupa was transformed into a pagoda in China, and the highlighted parasol on the summit was transliterated into chaldara(刹多羅), an abbreviation for chal (刹), and finally designated the whole pagoda(塔). Sachal consists with lying low monastery and high-rise pagoda. Tapsa(塔寺), an archaic word of temple, is exactly the same as sachal, because chal means tap, pagoda. However, during the 7th century a Buddhist monk erroneously double-transliterated the Sanskrit 'kshetra,' meaning of land, into the same word as chal, even despite phonetic disaccord. Thereafter, sutra translators followed and copied the error for long centuries. It was the Japanese pioneer scholars that worsen the situation 100 years ago, to publish Sanskrit dictionaries with the errors insisting on phonetic transliteration, though pronunciation of 'kshe-' which is quite different from 'cha-.' Thereafter, upcoming scholars followed their fallacy without any verification. Fallacy of chal, meaning of land, dominates Buddhist community broadly, falling into conviction of collective fixed dogma in East Asia up to now. In the Buddhist community, it is the most important matter to recognize that the same language has become to refer completely different objects due to translation errors. As a research method, searching for corresponding Sanskrit words in translated sutras and dictionaries of Buddhism is predominant. Then, after analyzing the authenticity, the fallacy toward the truth will be corrected.
