장곡사 금동약사여래좌상과 복장유물의 내력과 특징

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Gilt-bronze seated Bhaisajyaguru(Medicine Buddha) Statue enshrined in the Lower Daeungjeon Hall at Janggoksa Temple in Cheongyang-gun County, Chungcheongnam-do Province, was produced in 1346. The discovery of several sacred objects and dedicatory prayers inside it has made it one of the best-known Buddha statues dating from Korea’s late Goryeo period. These sacred objects recently received renewed attention when they were transferred from the National Museum of Korea to the Central Buddhist Museum, in 2014.
These sacred objects were not removed from the statue in accordance with any procedure at the time of their discovery. As a result, no complete list of them was made; it is even unclear exactly when the statue was opened. The only sources of reference regarding the statue are papers written by Lee Eun-chang and Min Yeonggyu in the 1950s and 1960s, which contain information about when the statue was opened, the background to its opening, and its contents. At this time, other sacred objects, thought to date from the Joseon period, were discovered when the cast iron seated Bhaisajyaguru statue enshrined in the Upper Daeungjeon Hall of Janggoksa Temple was opened.
Reference to these sources confirms that some sacred objects, from the Gilt-bronze Bhaisajyaguru Statue, including a silver bowl and some Buddhist scriptures, are now missing from the remaining collection, and that the Hangeul text written in ink on fabric was originally found inside the cast iron Bhaisajyaguru Statue in the Upper Daeungjeon.
Despite the disappearance of certain items, the remaining sacred objects from inside the Gilt-bronze Bhaisajyaguru Statue are of high significance and value because they remain in their original state. Meanwhile, the longest dedicatory prayer, measuring 10 meters in length; fabrics made using various techniques and materials; a needle case (the first of its kind to be discovered); and ornaments thought to be modeled after Buddhist banners, reveal the social classes and characters of those who dedicated the statue. The dedicatory prayer includes the name “Baeg’un,” and a name thought to designate King Gongmin, among others, leading to the assumption that the dedication of this statue was a major Buddhist event at the time, involving royalty and the highest-ranking members of Goryeo’s Buddhist clergy.
The opening of the Gilt-bronze Bhaisajyaguru Statue at Janggoksa Temple is the first official example of such a Buddhist statue being opened to reveal its contents. In the 1950s, when the sacred objects were removed from the statue, almost no research on artifacts deposited in the inner hollow of Buddhist statues had been conducted and the lack of understanding of such items was almost total. Since then, the passing of more than half a century has failed to produce clearer regulations regarding such procedures. Protecting and preserving these sacred objects, albeit belatedly, is now a matter of urgency.
