일제강점기 사원침탈 양상 -｢楊州各寺巡禮記｣를 중심으로-

초록

Korean Buddhism during the Japanese occupation progressed in the midst of a transition between tradition and modernity. The resumption of Buddhist Monks Entering Castle Town ostensibly seemed to improve their status and recognition, but nothing had changed. Along with the value of Buddhism's eternal traditional culture, the foundation of the temple economy has become the object of expropriation. The establishment of the modern university, which took place in the whirlwind of modern reforms, was carried out in the recognition that the land owned by the temple was public property. The looting and expropriation of temple land by the Japanese Resident-General(統監府) in Seoul and social figures has become the primary factor in the deterioration of the temple economy. This was followed by the return of land owned by temples during the Joseon Dynasty. Land and forests belonging to the royal family and the ruling class of Wondang (願堂) were also nationalized or converted into royal ownership in the course of the reform and land survey work. It was the result of ignoring Buddhism's identity and religious effectiveness(功能). The treasures of the historic temple were also in danger of being devastated by the senseless damage and sale. This is a part where we can examine the religious and social status of Korean Buddhism during the Japanese occupation. At that time, the Buddhist world made efforts to protect property in the perception of the Protection of Buddhism, but it was obedient to the reforms of modern Buddhism and was passive in its value of self-dignity. It is true that the study of modern Buddhist teachers in Korea has looked at Buddhist policies, pro-Japanese and anti-Japanese, and the lives and trends of people, but has not paid attention to the situation faced by temples and monks. Examining the encroachment of the temple economy during the Japanese occupation is also examining the essence of modern Korean Buddhism.
