| Abstract | The aim of this presentation is to show that while Esoteric Buddhism under the Koryo developed certain traits reflecting more narrow local developments in accordance with the country`s special cultural and geopolitical situation, it was at the same time part and parcel of a larger pan-East Asian Buddhist development which took place under the Song 宋 (960-1276), the Khitan Liao 遼 (906-1125), the Jurchen Jin 金 (1127-1234), the Tangut Xixia 西夏 as well as late Heian 平安 (782-1185) and Kamakura 렴倉 (1185-1382) of Japan. Therefore, while Esoteric Buddhism under the Koryo on the one hand featured elements that were unique to Korea, on the other hand it shared the over-all concerns for "Nation-protection"(Kor. hoguk pulgyo 護國佛敎) through ritual manipulation of the cosmic and earthly forces, as well as a persuasive interest in magic and disease control among the general population. The paper has been divided into a number of themes covering what is deemed the most important if not significant aspects of Esoteric Buddhism under the Koryo. This includes a historical introduction, a discussion of Esoteric Buddhist denominations, their beliefs and practices, the special historical and cultural circumstances due to which the Korean tripitakas came about, the court`s sponsoring of Esoteric Buddhist rituals and lastly a reconsideration of the concept of "Nation-protecting Buddhism." In addition these themes will also match more directly the rest of pan-East Asian Buddhism that will be discussed here. |
