Sari from the Goryeo Dynasty, owned by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, were returned to their homeland after about 100 years.
On the morning of the 19th, the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism (hereinafter referred to as the Jogye Order) held a ceremony to transfer the relics of the Samyeorae Ijos of Hoeamsa Temple (returning ceremony) at the Korean Buddhist History and Culture Memorial Hall, where the general secretary of the Jogye Order is located. This is a ceremony to announce the return of the relics to Buddha.
The ceremony on this day began with a preliminary ritual of saying goodbye to the Buddha, followed by an offering in the main ceremony, bowing three bows, progress reports, saying goodbye to the Buddha, and receiving a close friend.
At the funeral ceremony, Jinwoo, the general secretary of the Jogye Order, said, “The ‘Hoeamsa Temple Samnyorae Ijosa Relics’ have great historicity and authenticity and are a symbol of national harmony that brought joy to the homeland,” and added, “This return will be the starting point for the restoration of Hoeamsa Temple.”
The relics returned this time are those of Kasyapa, Jeong Gwang-bul, Shakyamuni Buddha, Zen Master Jigong, and Zen Master Naong, and through the inscriptions on the relics, it was confirmed that they were the true relics of the Tathagata and previous ancestors. On this day, only the ‘true relics of past investigations’ were revealed.
Kasyapa refers to the sixth Buddha among the seven Buddhas of the past who appeared before Shakyamuni Buddha. Seonsa Jigong is a monk from India who revived Buddhism in Goryeo through the West and China and founded Hoeamsa Temple in Yangju. He is a famous monk who learned Buddhism from Seonsa Jigong, Seonsa Naong, and served as a royal preceptor to King Gongmin.
After the event, these saris will be moved to Hoeamsa Temple in Yangju, Gyeonggi-do.
Previously, a delegation including Venerable Hosan, head of Bongseonsa Temple of the Jogye Order, and Venerable Hyegong, Director of the Cultural Department of the General Affairs Office, visited the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in the United States on the 16th (local time), completed the administrative procedures for donating the relics and the related transfer ceremony, and took over the Jinsin relics. The relics enshrined in the Boston Museum of Art’s relics, including the relics of Buddha’s original body, returned to Korea on the 18th, and a ceremony was held that day.
According to the Cultural Heritage Administration, ongoing discussions are underway with the U.S. on a plan to bring the relics containing these relics into the country through rental in the future. The official name of this reliquary is ‘silver-plated gilded lama tower-type reliquary’ (銀製鍍金喇?塔形舍利具), and it is evaluated as a work that captures the essence of Buddhist culture of the 14th century Goryeo Dynasty, which had a close relationship with the Yuan Dynasty. Inside the relics, five small-sized ‘silver-plated octagonal relics’ are enshrined.
It is known that the relics and relics were produced after the death of Master Naong in the late Goryeo Dynasty, and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts estimates Hoeamsa Temple in Yangju as the original storage place. It is known that the Boston Museum of Fine Arts acquired it from a dealer in 1939 after it was leaked to Japan during the Japanese colonial period. Discussions on repossession have been ongoing for about 15 years since 2009, and negotiations accelerated with First Lady Kim Kun-hee’s visit to the art museum in April last year.
