세계유산으로 등재된 석굴암 본존불의 위상이 이름값을 못 하고 있는 것으로 여겨진다. 명호(名號)가 확립되어 있지 않은 점과 세계인과 문화를 공유하기 위한 스토리텔링이 부재한 것으로 나타난다. 이런 문제점에서 출발하여 석굴암 본존불의 위상을 제고하기 위한 필요성이 대두되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 일반적인 불상의 형식과 석굴암 본존불의 특징들을 비교 검토하고 부처의 원류(原流) 또는 원형(原型)으로서 석굴암 본존불의 위상을 되짚어 보게 되었다. 연구 방법으로는 선행연구와 문헌정보를 토대로 한 기술적인(Descriptive) 방법으로 탐구하였다. 아울러 유네스코 세계유산이 지닌 경제적 가치와 그 효(效)를 살리기 위해 중국의 샹그리라(Shangri-La)를 예시로 비교 연구하면서 성공요인을 분석해 보았다. 결론에는 명호가 지닌 정체성의 혼돈을 지적하고 이의 확립을 대안으로 제시했으며 정부 주도형 민관 학제 연구를 통해 총체적인 위상을 재정립하는 방안을 제시했다.

The purpose of this article is making investigation of the principal composition of the twin-pagodas in Buddhist temple through ornaments of a case preserving relics of Buddha in the east and west pagodas of Gameunsa temple. This research has an important meaning in clarifying that the concept of placement two Buddhas together with lotus sutra, which was only applied to Bulkuksa temple, has been extended to Gameunsa temple. And this observation gave us a clear explanation for the principal composition at the twin-pagodas in Buddhist temple plans. The author obtained the following conclusion from this article : The cases preserving relics of the Buddha for the west and east pagodas are globally in similar form as the type of a royal palace. But the different points between eastern and western can be seen on the existence of Buddhist statues on the base floor, set-up of the gate at railings, and 4 lion statues at a coner of the base floor. In the western pagoda, there are Buddha statues above the base-floor of the cases preserving relics. These Buddha statues are composed of a boy monks and angels with playing music for the praise of the Sakyamuni Buddha lecturing the Lotus sutra at YoungChui Mountain. On the other hand, in the eastern pagoda, Buddha statues on the cases preserving relics are composed of a the Four Devas and monks as a defending God of the nation of Buddha. In the eastern pagoda, one can see something that does not exist in the western pagoda, which is a gate located in railing of a case preserving the relics. This gate described the scene of the Sakyamuni Buddha entering into the pagoda of 7 treasures. In a corner of the case preserving relics in the eastern pagoda, there is another thing which does not exist in the western pagoda. This is a sculpture of a lion which symbols the seat of Lion supporting the Buddha in the Dabotap(the pagoda of 7 treasures). When we observe the form and structure, the descriptions at the railings, the gate, the shrine, the statue of a lion, and the accessories in jewelries, at the cases preserving the relics in the eastern pagoda, one can realize that they have the same combination structures between the ones at Dabotaps in Bulguksa temple and those in China as well as in Japan, all of which represent the Gyun-Bo-Tap-Pum of Lotus Sutra. Among the distribution rules in the twin-pagodas in Buddhist temple, the application of the ideal of lotus was known to be effected only to Bulguksa temple. But from the result of the present article, it is more clearly proved by applying the Gameunsa temple that the distribution theory in the twin-pagodas in Buddhist temple was in fact based on the ideal of lotus.
