Abstract |
This paper is concerned with the way in which new communication technology, as symbolized with the term `ubiquitous`, interacts with Buddhism, especially in order to explore the significance of Buddhist culture and its popular reception in forms of cultural content. For this, we draw on the character classifications on the titles of the Buddhist statues and their hand postures. Our research method, termed `the Buddhism Visualization Model` (hereafter, BVM), locates 27 characters in the Buddhist statues and 20 characters in the hand postures. For example, this paper shows the characters in interaction by analyzing the two of the Buddhist statues at Boolgook Temple, Gyeong-joo. In doing so, this research suggests the BVM helps Buddhist culture interact well with popular culture along with new communications technologies. |
