Among the constituent requirements of religion, rituals are the two wings that support religion along with the doctrine advocated by the religion. It is clear that Buddhism has a very refined ritual among many religions. Buddhists form a consensus with faith and belonging as one of the Buddhists while sharing various rituals. Among the many rituals of religion, the prayer adopted in this paper is the first step toward the religion of all religious people.In this paper, among many prayer rituals, the typical form of prayer rituals was examined through the ‘Jabi-Doyang-Chambeop(慈悲道場懺法)’. The key to prayer is the combination of the fundamental power of the wish of the Buddha and Bodhisattva to rescue the people with the “harmony of one’s own efforts and the power of others” and the prayer’s earnest will to overcome hardships. That is the achievement of prayer and the nature of prayer. The heart of prayer is turn to ,worship, offer a memorial service, and praise. The ‘Jabi-Doyang-Chambeop’, which is the center of this paper’s consideration, has several compositional characteristics. First, it is organized in the order of ①Chan(praise)→②admission to penance③→the text of penance→④Chan(praise)→⑤free from penitence→⑥Chan(praise)→⑦bring up admiration. All three of the repeated Chan(praise)and Geochan(bring up admiration)have different personalities. Second, in the Chan(praise)of the introduction, the example of Maitreya Buddha and the past Chilbul must be posted. Third, the Buddha offering rituals is generally not constant from 28 to 10, but Maitreya Buddha and Sakyamuni Buddha are named first throughout the 10 volumes. In addition, the Bodhisattva is usually honored by two to four people, but at the end, it is bound to be the Bodhisattva of Guanyin. Fourth, each volume is entitled to a total of 38 paragraphs, and this penance law ends with the content of repentance and exhortation of its virtues. Fifth, although the source of the scripture cited in the Chambeop was not clearly stated, the 10 Bodhisattva statues in Hwaeom(華嚴), from Volume 1 to Volume 10, were the object of worship, indicating that the thoughts of Hwaeomgyeong(華嚴經)and other Buddhist scriptures were incorporated throughout. Through this practice, you can get a glimpse of the typical popular prayer.
