| 摘要 | A readily noticeable aspect of Buddhism in Korea but not widely discussed is the close link with Korean shamanism (musok). This intimate relationship is particularly true when we consider the importance of fulfilling this-worldly needs in the Buddhist cults which seem to be closely modeled on the religious function and ethos of musok. This was part of the process of adapting to the religious culture of Korea. The argument, in particular, is based on the central function of praying for worldly needs (kibok), safely sending off the dead souls (ch’ŏndo), and healing the sick (ch’ibyŏng), all of which are the principal aspects of musok cults. Parallel Buddhist notions can be exemplified with the Mountain Spirit that is commonly enshrined at temples and the prevalence of the bodhisattva cult of Kṣitigarbha and Bhaiṣajya-guru in Korean Buddhism, respectively. In essence, resolving this-worldly needs has been an essential reason why many people visited temples in Korea since the time Buddhism initially came to Korea. The success of Buddhism in becoming established in Korea and widely throughout Asia was not only because of Buddhism’s notions of enlightenment or its profound teachings. Rather, its success was in large part because, like other religions, it helped to resolve urgent and immediate secular problems. Without such aspects, it would lead to a misrepresentation of the Buddhism that had been practiced by millions of people and maintained albeit by the monks as well. |
