불교 장묘문화에 대한 고찰 - 장묘 형태를 중심으로 -

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Since the beginning of the human history, the grave culture seemed to start. The dolemen in Gochang and the royal tombs in Kyungju, both of which were recognized as a world cultural heritage some years ago, are valuable cultural heritage for Koreans. In particular, religions have valued the remains of their leaders, making those remains the objects to be worshiped. In Buddhism, the pagodas in which the relics of the Buddha are placed, were built and respected as the objects of belief. Budo-pagodas in which senims' relics were kept, have been preserved for a long time as the object for worship.
Recently, the culture of cremation has been widespread, yet there is no standard for the lay people, causing much confusion.
Therefore, this paper is to examine the form, standard and roles of the pagoda and Budo-pagoda, and to propose a new suggestion for the form of the pagoda for the lay people. Such suggestion should meet the criteria of the Buddhist teaching even though the form of pagoda for the lay people shares the basic idea as a pagoda, there should be a difference in the form for Budo-pagoda. However, Buddhist community and order have not yet proposed a new method or form, so the lay people have built the one similar to the Buddhist pagoda and Budo-pagoda.
From now on, the Buddhist order should present a new form of pagoda for the lay people. It seems already somewhat late, but in that sense, this paper could be an attempt for the subject.
