ABSTRACT

This research is a bibliographical analysis on ‘Volume 1 of Dalma-Daesa Gwansimnon (達磨大師觀心論一卷」) with the colophon of 1335 held at Baegcheonsa (百泉寺) Temple’. Major findings are as follows. 1) Gwansimnon is the analects of Dalma-Daesa, the progenitor of Zen Buddhism in China, about Buddhistic conscience and mentality. It is based on the idea that since mind is the core of everything, people can reach a state of Buddha with spiritual awakening. 2) It was confirmed that according to the preface of Gwansimnon held at Baegcheonsa Temple, people in the Goryeo (高麗) Period put their definite confidence in this book as the core elements of Zen Buddhism to be spiritually enlightened. 3) It was also confirmed that Gwansimnon held at Baegcheonsa Temple was bound with four holes which represented the unique binding style in the Goryeo Period. It proves that this book was printed and produced in the Goryeo Period. 4) Papers of Gwansimnon demonstrated with such features as ① a thickness of 0.06∼0.12㎜ and a single leaf, ② 17 base lines of paper manufacture, and ③ a base string width of 3.1㎝ or 3.5㎝. These were the same as or similar to those features of temple editions published in the late Goryeo Period, but much different from those in the early Joseon (朝鮮) Period. Therefore this book was ascertained to be published in the 14th century in the Goryeo Period.
