오세암 설화와 동자의 수행득도

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper proposes that a wide variety of modifications in each version of Oseam tales results from people’s own experience of enlightenment and Buddha and Bodhisattva’s miracles, and thus seeks people’s wisdom in them.
This paper first explores the images and implications of by in Buddhist Scriptures and Buddhist discourse and their materialization in Oseam tales. Based on each version of Oseam tales, the basic form of Oseam tales is reconstituted. From characteristics of each version, search people’s thoughts and inclinations.
The most prominent image of boy in Oseam tales is that of sympathy. By showing Oseam boy fulfilling his maternal deprivation, Oseam tales respond people’s worldly interests.
Some versions of Oseam tales represent Bodhisattva’s eccentric miracles and people’s belief in his religious teachings. Other versions illustrate the practice of Buddhist prayer chanting and the process of enlightenment. Particularly each tale that foregrounds Buddhist prayer chanting and the process of enlightenment stresses the fact that belief is the corner stone of the ascetic practice.
Similarities are abound between Oseam tales and the tales that depict “people who succeeded in going to heaven by faithfully chanting wrong prayers.” Protagonists of these tales are mainly grandmothers, dim-witted people, and boy. They full-heartedly accept and practice prayer chanting without any suspicion. They all are free from the discrimination by not discerning or not being able to. Particularly the five-year-old boy at the Oseam is so innocent as to listen to and believe no matter what other people say. Even when it is evident people are telling him lies, he would not judge them for not telling him truth. Oseam tales teach the great wisdom on the enlightenment practice by having the boy voluntarily or involuntarily pursue enlightenment practice and achieve enlightenment prior to everyone else.
However, Oseam tales does not solely focus on the practice and acquirement of enlightenment. They also reflect ordinary people’s worldly expectations. The process of the five-year-old boy’s fulfillment of maternal depravation at his most desperate moment proves that Oseam tales satisfy ordinary people’s desire to pursue happiness in their every lives. These two different narrative inclinations either coexist in a varying degree in individual versions of Oseam tales. People are equally and sometimes lopsidedly interested in both fulfillment of maternal depravation and religious enlightenment through prayer chanting. Coexistence, sometimes lopsidedly, of these two inclinations help expand the empathy of Oseam tales and disseminate the wisdom of Buddhist enligthenment practice.
