다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper is to examine the virtues and wisdom of Buddhism based on cows. Cow-bodhisatva was set as the subject and the way Cow-bodhisatva lives was considered in two aspects.
For example, I divided into the aspects of performance that obtains wisdom and the aspects of edification that practice mercy. Especially, here, we discuss the Cow-bodhissatva which is seen in the legend-tale of Shimboksa temple.
The two sturdy cows in the legend-tale of the Shimboksa temple are the images of the mesozoic with greed, annoyance and stupidity that arise from the sense and obsession that occurs vigorously on the one hand, and on the other hand, they participate in the construction of temples and build merit.
As a result, Cow-bodhissatva became the main character who continued his precious relationship with Buddhism.
Here we could find the following : So-called, the achievement of many wisdoms and various merits inherent in oneself must be embodied in bodhisattva-practice, and it must be achieved in everyday life. Cow-bodhissatva, which appears in the legend-tale of the Shimboksa temple, faithfully shows the same role.
Cow-bodhissatva, which appears in the legend-tale of Shimboksa temple, is a bodhisattva-practice that we should ultimately do, and furthermore, the pursue enlightenment and contribution can be learned from the constant effort of the cow with diligent mind.
