Abstract

The article is a writing which analyzes the process and the general aspects that Korean monk Jeokhyu crossed the border of Ming China, entered into Beijing, and established Temple of Banruo. Guji Mountain located at Fangshan in the outskirts of Beijing is a sacred place of Buddhism which has a deep connection with Korean Buddhism. Koreans who lived in Beijing and sponsors repaired on alarge scale a collapsed temple in 1346 and received the title of Lingyanchansi. Korean monks conmented until the end of Yuan dynasty. The connection between the mountain and Korean Buddhism continued. Jeokhyu entered into Guji Mountain in 1443 and established together with Enlichaoranjushi Temple Banruo in a large scale. There is a tombstone called “The Record of Temple Banruo” which describes the process of the establishment of the temple by Jeokhyu and the general aspects beside a pagoda in the temple. Unfortunately, the temple was destroyed later because of landfall. However, things such as pagoda, stonework, cave, and Buddhist statue remain. The process and trace that Jeokhyu crossed the border and established the temple were similar with that of Ungongmangongseonsa. Some monks reputed the goverment' policy and took an extreme measure to go beyond the border of Ming China as Chosen goverment carried out a policy in which Buddhism was oppressed in the earlier period of Chosen dynasty. There occured twice incidents in which Korean monks including Ungongmangongseonsa crossed the border in 1417. Jeokhyu lived at Nawonsi in Myohyang Mountain together with eight monks crossed Aprok River and entered into Ming China. As the incidents that monks crossed the border occured continually, the court of Chosen considered it shaked the root of the state and decided to send an envoy to Ming. However, Emperor Yongle took an action to receive Korean monks and let them cultivate Buddhist doctrines because he has a deep connection with Korean Buddhism.
