ABSTRACT

This study examined the bibliographical characteristics of the newfound Zhu jin gang bo re bo luo mi jing(注金剛般若波羅密經), as well as the transition of the name of the Songgwang Temple(松廣寺) through surveying the literatures printed in the temple. Zhu jin gang bo re bo luo mi jing(注金剛般若波羅密經), which was found in the body of a Buddha statue, was printed in Chungjumok(淸州牧) in 1215. It has been confirmed as the oldest material available where the name Songgwangsa(松廣社) was recorded. Songgwangsa(松廣社) is a compound of either 'Songgwang Mountain(松廣山) + Jeonghesa(定慧社) or Songgwang Mountain(松廣山) + Soosunsa(修禪社)'. It changed to Songgwang Temple(松廣寺), meaning a temple in the Songgwang Mountain. I suppose the name change occurred around King Kongmin times of the Korea Dynasty which would be in 1371, when the then mainstream Budddhism group, having long been backed by the Yuan(元) Dynasty, was replaced by a native one. Though the earliest material in which we see the name Songgwangsa(松廣社) was printed in 1371, the name change is presumed to have already happened in 1365 when Shindon(辛旽) took power.
