AB - Hwaeomsa dharani is the only material with which we can reconstruct the overall aspects of Mugujeonggwang dharani distributed during unified Silla. Despite its value as significant material, it has not been much noticed so far unlike other 「Mugujeonggyeong」 materials transmitted from unified Silla. Therefore, this author aims to reveal its value as significant material by examining the contents, patterns of transcription, marks of correction, and the New Characters of Wu Zetian. Regarding it, this study has found some characteristics of Hwaeomsa dharani and summed them up as follows: first of all, only the dharani was transcribed, excluding the Buddhist scriptures of 「Mugujeonggyeong」. The characters needed to recite the dharani were not transcribed. Six dharanis form a set and are transcribed repetitively, and they are transcribed 28 times at least. Also, in the beginning of each session, the title of a dharani, ‘最勝無垢清淨光明大根夲陁羅𡰱’, is transcribed. After transcribing six dharanis once, one or two blank lines are left for division before transcribing the next ones. There is space between Chinese characters to distinguish a dharani from another within a session. With these characteristics, we can see one of the concrete ways to produce mugujeonggwang dharani for enshrinement used during unified Silla. Hwaeomsa dharani was transcribed not for reciting but purely for enshrinement. Meanwhile ‘卜’ was used for deletion marks. This is the earliest example of using ‘卜’ for a deletion mark in Korea. In addition that, marks for reversal or repetition are also found. As in other Silla scriptures, ‘埊’, the new characters of Wu Zetian, was also used.
