Abstract


The Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo are located near the top of Mt. Sondo in Kyongju. And they are designated as a national treasure No.67.
The Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo have the biggest development plan among the Buddha images of the Silla period except for the Buddha Image of the Dan-Suk mountain. And they have both the distinctive features of the Buddha images of the Silla period and the various forms of the Buddha images from the period of Buk(北) dynasty to the period of Seo(隋) dynasty. So, The Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo have ever been received attention among the other Buddha images of the Silla period.
Mt. Sundo where the Amitabha Buddha Triad Images are located was called the West mountain(西岳) in the Silla period and it was regarded sacred mountain because the people performed a religious service there. Since then, Mt. Sundo was revered as the Holy mother's main residence under the influence of the Holy mother story of Mt. Sundo. There are the ancient tombs of West mountain(西岳) Ri which are assumeded as the royal tombs of the King Moo-Yeoul's royal family headed by the King Moo-Yeoul's tomb, and the tombs of the King Moo-Yeoul's descendants under Mt. Sundo now. The Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo look as if they overlook these tombs on top of Mt. Sundo. So, a geographical position of the Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo is also received attention.
Some studies based on these historical backgrounds and the geographical position are published, but those studies mainly lay emphasis on the period of complection of the Buddha Images. And a overoll study has not wok out yet. Also, in the case of the period of complection which is known doesn't crosscheck concretely. So, we have to reconsider about this.
Accordingly, this thesis is aimed at making clear the period of complection of the Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo, the purpose of complection, and their historical background information of complection.
Since the idea which the Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo were made around 650 was raised, they have been regarded made in the mid-seventh century. But I judge that the Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo were made around 670. Compared to the other Buddha Images made around that time and because of their distinctive features. In addition, the established studies says that the Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo don't have the patterns of Dang(唐) period. But they have the similar patterns and the distinctive features of the Buddha images in Dang(唐) period in various respects. Consquently, I judge that the Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo are the first work that have the particular patterns of Dang(唐) period among the Silla Buddha images.
Judging from the patterns of the Amitabha faith in Silla period when the Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo were made, this is closely connected with a requiem mass and a gentle and easy death for dead man. Because people of that age believed that their ancestors will pass away peacefully and rebirth in paradise by their acts of charity. In addition, the people's will couldn't work to this large-scale Buddhist service at that age. So, for the geographical position, at least the royal family have some connection with the furnished money for making the Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo.
Accordingly, for the time when the Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo were made, they might be made by the royal family who prayed for their ancestor's a gentle and easy death or they were made by King Moon-Mu's support.
Like this, the Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo were the large-scale Buddhist images which were made by royal family's support around 670. They are truly reflect on religious belief of that age and they are the earliest work that have patterns of the Buddha images of Dang(唐) period. So, the Amitabha Buddha Triad Images of Mt. Sundo must receive attention as very valuable work both in religious belief and in the history of the sculpture.
