Investigations on the symbolic role, spiritual health benefits and efficacy of the clothing items of the Ga wolomo (chief priest) have received little attention. Highlighting the relevance of these clothes, this paper focuses on the chief priest's dress code for his appointment, confinement, ordination, ceremonial and daily life activities. Data were collected through content analysis, participant observation and interviews with people from selected Ga communities, such as La, Teshie and Ga Mashie. The findings revealed that the selection of the chief priest is confirmed with a special clothing item. His traditional clothes and adornment also have meanings, importance and symbolic interpretations; explained in their uses, colour and style. As the spiritual head, the role of the chief priest's costume is very distinguished and symbolic in executing his duties; protecting, strengthening faith, confidence and assurance during spiritual healing, and when solving pertinent problems in the community. The paper concludes by recommending further research and documentation on other aspects of the Ga clothing culture, such as hand items and hair styles from the pre-colonial period to the present.

This paper aims to infer conversational implicatures from Chief Priest Sung-chul′s Nirvanic song in light of the Buddhist view of language and its communicative functions. Zen-dialogs in which nirvanic songs are classified are defined as rational dialogs, which in fact observe the rules of conversation such as the ones proposed by Paul Grice (1975) even though they apparently ignore the rules. This paper also addresses the formal characteristics of the Priest′s nirvanic song and argues that the song exploits the rules of conversation using the whole song as an implicature trigger. Taking it for granted that Chief Priest Sung-chul holds the view on language and its communicative functions just as specified in the Doctrine of Mere Consciousness, which is one of the major tenets of Korean Buddhism, especially of the Chogye order, this paper tries to explicitly show and systematize the language-to-world relationship, which is only alluded to in the Doctrine of Mere Consciousness. This paper also refines the assertion of the doctrine as to the nature of language, which maintains that language is not associated with either the mind or outer objects (that is, an unassociated dharma), and is "a shared thing among shared things." This shows that language continuously interacts with the mind in a different way from the ones in which associated mental activities (caittas) interact with the mind and that accordingly, language is "an unshared thing among shared things."

Hoe-amsa temple was renewed by Zen priest Na-ong(1320-76) in the later Goryeo dynasty(918-1392), and he introduced the institution of Zen Buddhism temple of Yuan dynasty(1271-1368) in China. And in 13-14 century, many Zen Buddhism temple were built in east Asia, like China, Japan, Korea and so on. Hoe-amsa temple became to be ruined in the middle years of Joseon dynasty(1392-1910), and the ruin was excavated recently. The purpose of this study is to make a searching examination the history of Hoe-amsa temple by analyzing the historic records and excavation relics, and to clarify the function of Jeongcheong, east Bang-jang and west Bang-jang of Hoe-amsa temple, by comparative analysis with Bang-jang architecture of Zen Buddhism temple of Yuan dynasty. As the result of this study it can be said like follow. Hoe-amsa temple maintained the form made by priest Na-ong in spite of several times of repair in Joseon dynasty, and it was reflected in excavation relics of now. The Jeongcheon of Hoe-amsa temple was the space called Chimdang where the chief priest performed lectures and ceremony, the west Bang-jang was the living space of chief priest, and the east Bang-jang was lodging for honored guest. The architecture composed by Jeongcheong, east Bang-jang and west Bang-jang was the adaptation of institution of Bang-jang architecture of Zen Buddhism temple in Yuan dynasty, on the base of general architecture form of Goryeo dynasty.

본 연구는 현대교회 건축 디자인에 많은 영향을 끼친 도미니크 수도회 신부 마리 알랭 쿠튀리에(Marie Alain Couturie)가 주창한 성미술(L'Art Sacre) 운동의 추진과정과 건축적 특성을 고찰하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 성미술 운동의 전개과정을 분석한 후, 이를 토대로 성미술 운동 속에 내재해 있는 건축적 담론, 특히 쿠튀리에가 주창한 건축개념의 특성이 무엇인가를 분석하고자 하였다. 1차적으로 1936년부터 1954년 사이에 성미술 운동의 기관지 라르 사크레지에 기고 된 쿠튀리에의 글 속에 나타난 언설을 분석하고, 2차적으로 성미술 건축 프로젝트의 현지답사를 통해 성미술 운동의 실체를 파악하였다. 성미술 운동의 대표적인 건축물인 아시성당과 로사리오성당, 롱샹교회, 라투렛수도원, 로스코채플 등 5개의 프로젝트를 분석대상으로 하였다. 본 연구의 결과 쿠튀리에의 건축개념의 특성은 '시적'(Poetic) 분위기의 창출에 기초하고 있음을 파악할 수 있었으며, 재료의 즉물성과 순수함은 모더니즘기의 추상적 사유와 연결되어 있음을 규명할 수 있었다. 쿠튀리에 신부는 르 코르뷔지에를 성미술 운동을 구현할 수 있는 가장 적합한 건축가로 인식하였으며, 이러한 사유는 롱샹 성당과 라투렛 수도원을 탄생시키는 직접적 동인이 되었음을 파악할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 20세기 중반 교회건축의 혁신을 일으켰던 성미술 운동의 전개과정과 쿠튀리에 신부가 펼친 건축개념의 분석을 통해 현대교회건축의 공간이미지 구성과 디자인에 지침과 교훈이 될 것으로 사료된다.
