ABSTRACT

This study offers the chance to understand and meditate the value of the Tripitaka Koreana through bibliographical study of it in depth. As everyone knows, the Tripitaka Koreana represents the Tripitaka of World Buddhism. However, the bibliographical studies including the organization, contents, root books, and corrections of the Tripitaka Koreana have not been satisfactory until now. Accordingly, the study focuses on enlarging and reconfirming the value of the Tripitaka Koreana. As a result, the First and Second Tripitaka Koreana are considered as the revised and reprinted edition of the Tripitaka Kai bao. Especially, it is considered that the Tripitaka Kai bao is the first root book of the Second Tripitaka Koreana, corrected on the basis of the First Tripitaka Koreana and Tripitaka Kidan, and had bokgak. It is thought that the books which are not in the Tripitaka Kai bao or have serious flaws were published with the second root book of the First Tripitaka Koreana and Tripitaka Kidan etc. Additionally, the Second Tripitaka Koreana in the origin(gyetong) of Tripitaka belongs fundamentally to “Jungwongyetong”, but it has the contents of “Bukbanggyetong” and “Nambanggyetong”. Also, it has been carefully considered that the differences for the contents of letters have unique and improved elements of its own.
