This is the 2nd set of granite stone Buddhas, Treasure No. The two bizarre-looking Buddhas were made in the Goryeo Dynasty, so they have a special meaning. The late President Park Chung-hee

There is a statue of Buddha in a small temple, please visit!

It took me 5 hours from Ulsan. It is worthwhile I have to go down now It is very difficult to find accommodation.

Maaebul in 2 districts built during the Goryeo Dynasty in Gwangtan-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do. treasure. It is a Maae Buddha with two statues of Buddha standing side by side, using natural rock walls appropriately and adding lines to express disbelief. The Buddha statue on the left side of the front side is taller than the Buddha statue on the right side and has a round cap. The left hand is at shoulder height and the right hand is at chest level, holding the lotus stem. When the Tathagata is holding a lotus stem, it is often interpreted as Sakyamuni or Maitreya Buddha. The statue of Buddha proudly spreads its wide shoulders, giving it a majestic feeling. He is wearing a uniform of Tonggyeon. On the chest part under the lotus stem, a ribbon-shaped band knot tied when wearing the inner gara can be seen. The ‘U’-shaped folds of clothes that seem to be pulled up to the left shoulder below it are repeatedly expressed and flowed down, blurringly leading to the bottom of the rock. To the left and right, the cuffs flowing down from both arms form ginkgo leaf-shaped pleats and hang down below the waist. The Buddha on the right side is a little shorter than the Buddha on the left, but has a larger face and is wearing a square hat and holding hands. Due to the natural condition of the rock, the body is slightly bent to the side, but the face is staring straight ahead, just like the Buddha in a round hat. The impression that it is as if two Buddhas are shoulder to shoulder is interesting. The clothing method and the flow of the hem are the same as the side of Maaebul, but because the width of the rock is narrow, the hem is also engraved on the side of the rock. It is also said that the statue holding a lotus flower represents a man, and the one holding hands represents a woman. On the other hand, in this Maaebul, the smoke of the Goryeo dynasty is conveyed, and it is as follows. King Seonjong of Goryeo (reigned 1083-1094) had no children, so he received Wonsingungju (元信宫), but he also had no heirs. Then, in a dream of the king, two monks appeared and said, “We live in a crevice of rocks at the southern foot of Mt. Jangji, and we are very hungry right now.” The next day, he sent someone to find out that there were two large rocks standing side by side at the bottom of Mt. Jangji. The king, who thought it was strange, had the two monks of his dreams carved on this rock, and built the temple, and it is said that in that year, Prince Hansanhu was born. In the past, considering this legend, it was estimated that these Buddha statues were made in the 11th century, the early Goryeo period. However, as the inscription of ‘Seven Years of Seonghwa’ was found on the rock face, the possibility that it was a work of the early Joseon Dynasty was newly suggested. In other words, ‘the 7th year of Seonghwa’ corresponds to the year 1471 (the 2nd year of King Seongjong’s reign). Previously, it was understood that this inscription was not engraved during the production of Maaebul, but was recorded in the early Joseon Dynasty. However, recently, it has been pointed out that the tombs of King Sejo, the object of remembrance, and related figures appearing in inscriptions, are widely distributed in Paju, so it is meaningful enough to create a new Buddha statue. Since they were used as official caps from the horse to the early Joseon Dynasty, there was an opinion that it is highly likely that these Maaebulls were made in the early Joseon Dynasty. The inscriptions of Maaebul are distributed in three places. First, the inscriptions engraved on the side of the rock of Maaebul wearing a square cap are as follows. “The Seven Years and Seven Months of Seonghwa, the Invocation Letter, The Three Ages Three Yugak (願此同類見不向三世三有閣), one of the original western products.直入西方九品中自他一時成正覺, Woowon Maitreya Yonghwaji Jungryu Re-first Re-primary Jaksangji (又願彌勒龍華之中類在初他理氏夫人) , One-person Yu-Gyeong, one-person Yu-Gyeong, one-person Yu-Gyeong, one-person Yu-Gyeong, one-person, one-man, one person, one person, one person, one person, one person, one person, one person; Yang clan (梁氏), Dashi Joo Mutual Army Heart Ki (大施主上護military commander), Kim clan (金氏), Tongjin-an clan Bannam Park clan Former ambassador to Jungheungsaji dynasty □□僅雲□惠大師), Ahn Jeong Seon Han clan (副正柳安善han han 副正柳安善han氏), Mutual Army Yi Hyoji Yangju (上護military 李孝志兩主), Sajikjeongbuljungyangju ), Chung Chan-wi Kim Jung-san Yangju (忠贊衛金仲山兩主), Sajik Heo-gye-jiyang-ju (直許継智兩Principal), Lee Csi Choi Ji (李氏崔知), Jeong Byung Kim Deoksu Yangju (正兵金德守兩) □Korean Central Yangju”. Below the Maaebul with a round cap is the following inscription. “Dangrae Maitreya Nyorai Daeseong (當來彌勒如來大성), The Pure Land of King Sejo the Great”. Lastly, the inscription under the Maaebul wearing a square cap is as follows. “The Columnar Electrolytes □□”. It is a work that raises the aesthetic level by appropriately utilizing the natural beauty of natural rock walls in the sculpture of the Buddha. The natural protruding part of the rock was described as an arm raised to grab a lotus stem in one Buddha Buddha, and applied as a crossed arm in the other Buddha Buddha. The flow of the hem is also in exquisite harmony with the rock, highlighting the sculptor's excellent choice. As if it was not intentionally sculpted, but as if they found the Buddha in the original rock and marked it to make it more visible. (Encyclopedia of Korean National Culture)
