초록

연기법송은 석가모니가 깨달은 내용을 가장 간략하게 표현한 게송이다. 연기법송을 새긴 봉헌판을 만드는 것은 인도에서 시작되어 동남아시아, 중국, 한국으로 전해졌다. 이들은 연기법송이라는 불법의 요체를 공유한다는 점에서 불교 신앙의 글로벌리즘을 잘 보여주는 유물이다. 한국 보원사지 오층석탑에서 발견된 사리기에 새겨진 한역 연기법송은 의정이 번역한 문구와 같아서 시안 출토 전불에 새겨진 구문과는 다르다. 의정이 슈리비자야에 장기 체류했고, 상선을 통해 이동했다는 점에서 보원사지 사리기와 석장사지 탑상문전은 해로를 통한 불교문화의 확산과 관련이 있다.

영어초록

The Votive Plaques with ‘ye-dharmā’ inscription show some evidence that there was a global spread of the Buddhist culture in Asia. The carving the ‘ye-dharmā' on the votive objects, which was commonly conducted in India's major sacred places such as Bodh-Gaya, has spreaded out to Southeast Asia, China, and Korea in this time period. As a form of the gāthā of the Pratītyasamutpādagāthā, the 'ye dharmā' reflects certain Buddhist ceremonies carried out by the locals in Asia. These are the important artifacts, which have roles to propagate the core lessons of Buddhism or the 'patītyasamutpāda'. These votive tablets took a function as the substitute of the Buddhist laws. People were able to learn the Buddhism easily by reading them and practice some good deeds by offering them to some sacred places. The convenience of these tablets was found in its massive productivity and portability. The 'ye-dharmā' plaques have actually boosted the unity and homogeneity of the pan-Buddhist world. The translated version of the gāthā by the Chinese monk, Yi-jing, was found inside of the stupas in the Buddhist temples of Bowon-sa in Sosan, Korea. These objects tell us that the devotion of ‘ye-dharmā’ were spreaded out through the sea routes. Though inscribed in different letters such as Sanskrit, Pali, Chinese characters, the content of the pratītyasamutpāda is the same. The ceremonial rituals and the symbolization of the Buddhism found in these plaques were also identical across the Asian countries. This shows the Buddhist world of globalism in Asia.
