왜 벽지불로 인해 공덕을 얻으려하는가 -벽지불에 대한 새로운 이해를 위해- = Why do we try to get merit through Pratyekabuddha?

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There is a need to establish a new concept we generally know as pratyekabuddha. Self-enlightenment (or realization by self alone) in the early Buddhist tradition is not uncommon. Just look at the mystical and performance arts of the pratyekabuddha in respect to the public as the audience. The literal meaning of eka (or alone), is to enter into religious life symbolically. Hae-Young, Won This is special because in pratyekabuddha, there is no teacher and the enlightenment comes to the self without guidance from a teacher. This is the reason to give blessing and benefit to the people born in the heaves in respect to pratyekabuddha. Building merits as offerings were a clearly professed practice in pratyekabuddha. As recorded in the Buddhist text, Hsuan-tsang, he visited India during the seventh century and visited numerous pratyekabuddha stupas. Pratyekabuddha and Buddha cannot exist simultaneously in a single era. Many scholars believe that the emergence of pratyekabuddha was during the period where ``Non-Buddha`` phenomenon prevailed. The magical powers of pratyekabuddha were noted in the early Buddhist texts. The merit gained in one``s previous life is important to the future life. The magical powers that are taught by pratyekabuddha are a distinct characteristic of the practice. Stock images are fundamentally about pratyekabuddha and tend to be conservative. In this manner, his images can be newly reestablished. And this is possible through the careful historical research of the past and even present.
