Abstract

양산지역은 천성산이 동·서를 나눔으로 인해 문화적 균형을 이루지 못하고 있다. 최근, 천성산에 ‘원효대사 둘레길’의 제안은 양산의 동·서 지역에 문화적 균형을 이루는 매개로 작용할 수 있을 것이다. 천성산에는 원효가 89암자를 창건했다는 설화와 함께, 현재는 조선 때 대부분 폐사되어 사지로만 남아있거나 미타암을 포함한 몇 곳 만 암자로 유지되고 있다. 본 연구는 원효가 천성산에 창건한 89암자 중 한 곳인 미타암을 중심으로 원효사상을 논의한다. 미타암은 이름 그대로 원효의 정토사상이 녹아있는 곳이다. 미타암에 잠재된 원효사상을 드러낸다면 시 ·공간에 대한 장소적 가치의 향상과 천성산 둘레 길의 중요한 연결점이 될 수 있을 것이다. 원효사상이 깃든 시·공간을 논의를 미타암으로 선정한 이유는 천성산에 계획하고자 하는 둘레길의 특성을 나타낼 수 있기 때문이다. 미타암은 좁은 일 열의 오솔길에 전각들이 접해있어 둘레길이 축소된듯한 시 ·공간적 가치를 갖추고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 미타암을 통해 원효사상의 시·공간적 가치를 ‘미타암의 생태적 관점’, ‘불교와 오행에 의한 방위의 빛’, ‘불교에 선 사상과 민간신앙의 공존’으로 해석하고자 한다. 이러한 논의는 비슷비슷한 전통건축을 차별화함으로 미타암만이 갖는 역사적 시간성을 인식할 수 있을 것이다.The Yangsan area has achieved no cultural balance with Mt. Cheonseong dividing it between east and west. The recent proposal for “Perimeter Route of Grand Master Wonhyo” in Mt. Cheonseong may serve as a medium for cultural balance between the eastern and western parts of Yangsan. In this background, this study set out to discuss Wonhyo’s ideology in Buddhist architecture with a focus on Mitaam in Mt. Cheonseong. Wonhyo built 89 small Buddhist temples in Mt. Cheonseong. Most of them were abolished in the Joseon Dynasty, and their sites only remain today. Only a few of them including Mitaam still function as a small Buddhist temple. Having exerted influences on the Buddhist landscape of East Asia as well as Korea, Wonhyo’s Buddhist ideology can retrieve the memories of the 89 small Buddhist temples by combining ecological values with the tales that have passed down through the various time and space spots of Mt. Cheonseong. This study focused on Mitaam of the 89 small Buddhist temples to discuss Wonhyo’s ideology. Mitaam literally means a place with his Buddhist Elysium ideology melted in it. If even one of the 89 small Buddhist temples scatters around the mountain reveals its meanings through traditional architecture with Wonhyo’s ideas latent in it, it will help to enhance its value as a place in the time and space aspects. If the placeness of Mitaam is enhanced, it might be an important node along the perimeter route of Mt. Cheonseong currently at the planning stage. This study interpreted the time and space values of Wonhyo’s ideology based on Mitaam as “Mitaam’s ecological perspective.” “fusion of Buddhism and Five Elements in harmony with nature.” and “fusion of Buddhism, Zen ideas, and popular beliefs.” The unique historical temporality of Mitaam will be recognized based on such differentiation of similar traditional architecture.
