四天王寺의 密敎的 特性에 關한 硏究

Abstract

Each buddhist temple expresses its own dogmatic ideology. During the Unified Silla Period, Esoteric Buddhism became widely accepted since it was embraced by both the Zen and the Dogmatic Buddhism. The ideology of the Esoteric Buddhism, which started out with the triangular composition, uses the geometric elements of circles, squares, half circles, and triangles which forms the Cosmos, to complete the Mandala image. Because Esoteric Buddhism and the two pagoda buddhist temple(Sachunwangsa Buddhist Temple Site) started to appear around the same period, we might be able to find the compositional elements of the two pagoda buddhist temple that remains unknown to these days.
