AB - There have been common recognitions in the world that the mountains are the channel to the heavens or the residence of gods. Among the mountains, some were considered so holy that people used to worship them. This tradition of mountain worship also has a long history. Korea is a mountainous country where the mountains cover about 70% of its territory. Therefore, the tradition of mountain worships for Three Mountains and Five Peaks(三山․五嶽) was settled from long ago. Even in Mahayanist Buddhism, there were the mountain worship. But, as India was a plain country, such worship was very limited. As the Buddhism came to the East Asia, the bodhi-sattva faith was combined with the tradition of mountain worship to create the Buddhist holy-mountain structure. While the ‘holy place’ designates some limited and specific area, the holy mountain covers the whole mountain. Therefore, it is the most extensive and peculiar among the holy land concepts. This paper deals with the three holy mountains in Korean Buddhism. These three holy mountains are: Odaesan that was opened by Jajang(慈藏) in Three Kingdom Age, Geumgangsan which was completed in the early days of Yuan intervention period, and Bogaesan which was promoted as a holy mountain in the later days of Goryeo but finished incompletely. These three holy mountains are connected to Mahayanist bodhi-sattvas: Odaesan – Mañjuśri, Geumgangsan – Dharmodgata and Bogaesan – Kṣitigarbha. By reviewing the origin and development of the three holy mountains, we could reach the clearer recognition on the holy mountain concept of Korean Buddhism in response of the contemporary structural request.
