ABSTRACT

Daebanggwangbul-Hwaeomgyeongso consisting of 120 volumes organized by Jìng yuán (1011∼1088) is a annotation book about the Avatamska Sutra. He added a small supplement to annotation of Ch’eng kuan (738∼839). A Goryeo Buddhist monk named Daegak Guksa Uicheon (1055∼1101) asked Jìng yuán for Daebanggwangbul-Hwaeomgyeongso during China’s Sung Dynasty. Before long, he received about 2,900 wood blocks. There was no need engrave because the wood blocks existed in the country during the Goryeo Dynasty. However King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty bestowed these 2,900 wood blocks to Japan instead of the Tripitaka Koreana. Since then, Daebanggwangbul-Hwaeomgyeongso was published by Cheonggyesa Temple, Gwijinsa Temple, Yongboksa Temple and Songgwangsa Temple in Korea from 15th century to 17th century. Besides several books stored in statue of the Buddha in Baekyangsa Temple was published by unknown publisher in the late 15th century. In this paper, I have researched systems and characteristics of the wood blocks engraved by Songgwangsa Temple. Through this study, I was able to understand the whole process of engraving and characteristics of the wood blocks published by Songgwangsa Temple.
