ABSTRACT

This thesis is a study of the printed books of Liudao Pushuo(六道普說), one of Mengshan(蒙山)’s works. Mengshan De-yi(德異) lived in the Song(宋) and Yuan(元) Dynasty and was a Buddhist monk of Linji Chan(臨濟宗). Liudao Pushuo exists only in Korea, and there is no copy in China. Liudao Pushuo is a summary of the preachings of Mengshan about the Ten dharma-worlds(十法界) which include the six realms(六道) and the four kinds of holy men(四聖). There are 22 printed books in Korea. This study analyzed their physical descriptions and structures. As a result, all the printed books have ‘sajudanbyoun(四周單邊)’ except one book that is ‘julchopjang(折帖裝)’ of ‘Bulgapsa(佛甲寺)’. There are also ten books with ‘Heukku(黑口) and naehyang heukumi(內向黑魚尾)’. This indicates that those were typical of the printing type of the early days of the Joseon(朝鮮) Dynasty. In addition, the books with 13 characters in one line(13字本) were common. All 22 printed books were published in the 15th and 16th century. This study confirms that Liudao Pushuo was handed down in the Goryeo(高麗) from China and actively published in the 15th and 16th century. This shows that Mengshan’s Seon(禪) had a significant effect on Buddhism in Korea.
