Geumsansa (literally "Golden Mountain Temple") is a temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism standing on the slopes of Moaksan in Gimje City, Jeollabuk-do, South Korea.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=금산사 金山寺 (Geumsansa) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=금산사 金山寺 (Geumsansa) )〕 ==History== The first Geumsan temple was built during the reign of King Beop of Baekje (r. 599–600 AD). While some sources say "established 600" and others "built 599", the 1635 compilation, ''Geumsansa sajeok'' (hanja:金山寺事蹟, ''Chronicle of Geumsan Temple'') records that the temple was established in 600 AD by the Baekje kingdom (18 BC–660 AD), one of the three kingdoms that ruled the Korean peninsula during this period. The year indicates both the second year of King Beop's short-lived reign (r. 599–600)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=법왕 法王 (''Beopwang'', King Beop of Baekje) )〕 and the first year of the subsequent ruler and his son, King Mu (r. 600–641).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=법왕 法王 (''Beopwang'', King Beop of Baekje) )〕 According to the document, as a faithful Buddhist, King Beop issued a royal edict to prohibit the killing of any living creatures in 599 and ordained 38 Buddhist monks.〔〔 Conversely, according to the Cultural Heritage Administration of South Korea and others, Geumsasa was built in 599, the first year of King Beop.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of the Geumsansa Temple )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geumsansa Temple - 금산사 (金山寺) (founded 599, rebuilt 16th century onward) )〕 Regardless of the founding date, it was assumed not to have been a significant temple in the scope of its scale and character.〔 From 722, during the reign of King Gyeongdeok of Silla until 766 in King Hyegong's reign, Geumsansa was rebuilt and greatly expanded〔 under the direction of the Master Jinpyo. According to the tradition, Master Jinpyo had a vision of Maitreya (the Buddha of the future) and received a book on divination in two rolls along with 189 divination sticks from Maitreya. Jinpyo thereafter created a statue of the Maitreya to be enshrined in the main hall which became the basis of the Beopsang Buddhist school.〔 As a result of the expansion, Geumsansa became the headquarters for practicing the Maitreya faith during the Unified Silla period (668-935).〔〔 After the expansion, Gyeon Hwon (r. 900-935) who is the founder of Later Baekje (892–936) protected the temple. Although it is said that he issued orders to carry out partial repairs for Geumsansa, there is no certainty over whether the repairs actually occurred.〔〔〔 Through the irony of fate, Gyeon Hwon was held captive at Geumsansa when his son, Prince Singeom usurped the throne.〔 In 1079 as the Royal Preceptor Hyedeok was appointed as the head master of Geumsasa, he completely renovated the temple by erecting various additional sanctuaries. This led to Geumsansa's era of cultural blooming.〔〔 During the first Japanese military campaign of Hideyoshi Toyotomi in 1592, Geumsansa also played a defensive role. The Buddhist volunteer corps, with over a thousand monks led by Master Noemuk (뇌묵대사) used Geumsansa for a training ground.〔 During the second Japanese military campaign, the Buddhist volunteer corps established their headquarters at Geumsansa. However, the entire temple complex subsequently suffered a tragic fate when the pavilion and outlying hermitages were burned to the ground by the invading Japanese forces.〔 The present buildings were rebuilt in 1635 after the previous ones were destroyed by the Japanese invasions of Korea. The temple currently serves as one of the principle Buddhist centers in the region and is one of the largest temples in South Korea. Most of the treasures were created prior to the time of present buildings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geumsansa (금산사 / 金山寺) introduction )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Geumsansa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
