세계 불교 정근송에 대한 동향 연구 = Research on Cheonggeun(情勸)-song in World Buddhism

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examines the representative forms and trajectories of cheonggeun-song (“Amitabha,” “Siddhartha Gautama,” “Om” tradition, “Namo Buddhaya” tradition) in the Buddhist countries of Tibet (northern region) and Sn Lanka (southern region), as well as countries belonging to the East Asian Buddhist cultural sphere, including Chinese Taipei, Japan, and Korea. In this way, just as cultural traditions vary from one Buddhist country to the next, this study reveals the unique characteristics of cheonggeun-song across these different countries.
Cheonggeun-song is the most active among the public in present-day Tibet and Taipei. That is, in these countries, content featuring an abundance of meditative uses has been spread widely through social media, displaying an advanced level of the application of Buddhist practice in everyday life. Although Buddhist cheonggeun-song is rather short, it has had a particularly strong and widespread impact through social media networks, and therefore, it is anticipated to play an important role in the propagation of Buddhism through music. Through its examination of the diverse forms of Buddhist cheonggeun-song, this essay seeks to facilitate the modernization and popularization of cheonggeun-song in everyday life.
