ABSTRACT

Mountain is the important place to write the chinese poetry. Because there are many old temples in the mountain, naturally for many Buddhist monks who lives there, it means that the mountain is a perfect place to write literature works. Generally the poem represented the mountain is named as Yusansi(遊山詩), Sangeosi(山居詩) etc. Yusansi describes the process of sightseeing the mountain, on the other hand Sangeosi expresses the dairy life in the mountain. Comparison to a man of high birth as a Confucian who has clear his destination and political standing, the poems written by Buddhist monks have lived at a temple of the mountain have the special characteristics: the conceptual category, the nature of prose and poetry etc. This thesis aims to study on the chinese poems written by Beomhaegakhan(梵海覺岸: 1820~1896) who was the 13th lecturer of the Daedun temple in the Mt. Duryun. Speicially it would be focused on the his thought and emotion about the picturesque scenery of the Mt. Duryun through the characters, nature and temple expressed in the poems. He reviewed the lives of old priests have lived in Mt. Duryun by 『Dongsayeoljeon(東師列傳)』 and also restored them through the prose and poetry. Especially there remained the adoration and honor for the Buddhist masters and instructors who have taught himself: So we might regard it as goseungjeon(高僧傳) written by the prose and poetry. As we know, Mt. Duryun is located in famous for its paradisical nature got joined mountain and sea. Thus Beomhaegakhan sings the beauty of Mt. Duryun, while expresses the consciousness of the aim for fairyland by the poems. The opportunity of the Buddhist's temple-poems can be classified into next two groups: as an unexpected travel and as an base of living. We can find out what he really wants to show through the Buddhist's temple-poems he expressed as a Buddhist monk in Mt. Duryun. It was none other than the freer stroll of consciousness to crossover time past and present. And for that, this peoms which cannot be created until a poet as the Buddhist monk should live for many years in the mountain are worthy as the model of Buddhist literature. As we can consider his poems as natural, we also may regard him as the follower the principle of nature.
