한국불교의 시다림과 다비의례의 검토 = The study for Sedarim and a Etiquette cremation of Korea Buddhism

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There are 2 points of view below to look at the life of human being from Buddhism. First, it sees the life in the circulation structure, called ‘Samsara’, and second, it understands the process of life through the perception, ‘Life, old, disease and death’. These views are to show the point of view of life and death in Buddhism simultaneously, it also makes us possible to see the characteristic of life ritual of Buddhism fulfilled at the crucial moment and turning point of life. I think it would be more appropriated to treat the life ritual of human being progressed in the boundary of Buddhism, dividing into the ritual of life and the ritual of death. Death is the last ritual that human being must pass through after being born. Although birth and death is the most important ritual among the passage ceremony of lifetime having start and end, comparing to birth, it puts more weight on the rite of death comparatively. This study is for understanding what the problem is, focusing on ‘Sedarim’, the dharma ritual and ‘49days after death’, a recommendable ritual, in the current life and death ritual, and also as pointing out the misunderstanding about the traditional ritual, it was written to provide clue for the settlement of right life and death ritual. I`d like to limit the range of rite for the life and death ritual in Buddhism with the basis on the historical fact of Korea Buddhism, and examine a variety of preceding structures advanced researches suggest and unfolding methods, from the view of development of Korea Buddhism, I tried to find the practical method of life and death ritual in Buddhism which is suitable to the contemporary society for recovering the practical method of traditional rite and understanding about life and death and what is the life overcoming and ready to the panic of death, choosing the task for practice and evangelism. Even though the traditional ritual is reasonable, if it is not appropriate to the circumstance of contemporary society, it is impossible to practice and inherit. As using suitable tool and method to the circumstance following the change of time, it would be the right ritual meeting the need of time.
