AB - The purpose of this article is to consider the two layers of Bongjong-sa foundation folktale and its direction of storytelling. Bongjong-sa became the UNESCO world heritage in 2018 and it functions as the matter of expressing the locality of Andong as a traditional culture city. The reason we have to focus on Bonjong-sa foundation folktale is that it shows the origin and identity of Bongjong-sa.
Bongjong-sa foundation folktale consists of two layers of stories. One is the narrative that Buddhist monk Ui Sang flies the phoenix to Bongjong-sa, and the other is the narrative that Buddhist monk Neung In cultivates himself religiously in the cave and when he passes the test of heaven, fire lamp from heaven suddenly comes down. The phoenix is a symbol of the spread of Huayan school - Ui Sang is the progenitor of it. The fire lamp is the light which means the religious enlightenment of Huayan school. Bongjong-sa foundation folktale contains the process of spread and enlightenment of Huayan school of Buddhism with these two layers of stories.
Storytelling means a dynamic process that extracting a story from a discourse, and making new discourse from that story. In this perspective, the possibility and direction of creating a new discourse of Bongjong-sa should be started from the motif of phoenix and lamp of heaven. Especially, lamp motif is more significant because it makes the space of light related to Mt. Cheondeung(lamp), the cave of Cheondeung and Bongjong-sa alive and also embraces a phoenix motif with the image that phoenix incubates the light of enlightenment. When we treat not only Bonjong-sa but also the cave of Cheondeung as one religious territory, a new discourse about Bongjong-sa could be created.
