ABSTRACT

This research closely examined commentaries relevant to 『Cheontaesagyoeui』 and 『Lotus Sutra』. Cheontaejong in China transformed to practice-based to theory-based denomination and Goryeo Cheontaejong was established with supports of UiCheon. As the publication of 『Shinpyeonjaejonggyojangchongrok』 progressed, the unification of Buddhism was witnessed. This study mainly approached to currently existent editions of 『Beophwagyeong』 commentaries, one of the basic documents of Cheontaejong, outside of Korea, bibliographically. First, Cheontaejong led by UiCheon produced and distributed myriad documents abroad to China or Japan. However, after stagnation of Buddhism, they were mainly explored in early 13 century, which was a period of Goryeo military regime, by Yonse. Second, as one of the fundamental books of Cheontae, 『Cheontaesagyoeui』 written by ChaeGwan, who expanded Goryeo Cheontae to China, has reprinted edition (1089) and Gibokdogampan (1315). 『Cheontaesagyoeuijiphae』, the commentary of 『Cheontaesagyoeui』, has Gangyeongpan (1464) published in the year of King Saejo, Eulhaejapan and Eulhaejapan’s edition and the contents of each edition were mostly equivalent to their original contents with only few differences. Third, 『Cheontaesamdaeboobojoo』 is the commentary related to 『Beophwagyeong』 which was published in Boonsadaejangdogam in 1245 as a woodblock edition. It is very unique as it was printed in same period as the Tripitaka. The overall content is about composition of Jongui to Cheontaesamdaeboo, which consists of 『Beopwhamoongoo』, 『Beopwhahyeonui』, 『Mahajigwan』 and only a book of Vol. 1-5 is currently existent out of total 14 volumes. Fourth, as places of commentaries outside of Korea, there are 『Beopwhamoongoogi』 and 『Beopwhasammaechamui』 as woodblock books of China, and 『Myobeopyeongwhagyeonghyeonchan』(University of Kyoto), 『Beopwhagyeonghyeonchan』 (College of Ryukoku) 『Gwajoomyobeopyeongwhagyeong』 (College of Ryukoku), 『Beopwhamoongoobojeonggi』 (collection of Kanazawa), 『Beopwhagyeongmoongoogwa』 (collection of Kanazawa), 『Beopwhauiso』 (College of Otani) and 『Gwajoomyobeopyeongwhagyeong』(College of Buddhism) as books of Japan. Following commentaries of Cheontaesagyo and 『Beophwagyeong』 will perform a significant role on understanding formats and structures of the interpretation of the Tripitaka of UiCheon.
