Abstract
The author researched Zhancha Buddhist mass in Silla and found that Zhancha Buddhist mass spread from the southeast of Korean Peninsula to the north and the west. And not long after it was introduced into Silla by Yuanguang, it combined with Mountain Spirit Worship. Although it came from China, Zhancha Buddhist mass in Silla was somehow different from that described in Sutra on the Divination of the Effect of Good and Evil Actions and practiced by Zhixu. Zhancha Buddhist mass in Silla paid more attention to receiving the commandments, while the one described in Sutra on the Divination of the Effect of Good and Evil Actions and practiced by Zhixu sought for the Meditation after the divination and the repentance. Also the latter two emphasized the faith of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva much more than the former. In a word, Zhancha Buddhist mass in Silla had its own characteristics.
