ABSTRACT

I studied the images of the Buddhist priests in Yongjaechongwha in connection with the subject of the secularization, in this essay. To this end, I divided off the types of the Buddhist priests, and argued about the distinction as narration, the background of tradition, and the view of editing. And according to the synthetic examination of this, I discussed the subject of the secularization. In the first place, that the images of the Buddhist priest are found a priest of virtue, an evil-working priest, a silly priest, and a secular priest. And they are resulted from the social circumstances, the social position of Buddhism and the priests, the agitation against Buddhism by Sadaebu including the editor of those years. In the next, I discussed the meaning of, the form of, and the cause of secularization. Specially, I created four ways of the secularization of the Buddhist priests. This is for the intention to examinate fully, and make a fixed form the subject of the secularization.
