Buddhist cults played a seminal role in the domestication of Buddhism in Silla Korea and the development of Korean Buddhist culture. Cults were particularly suited to Silla's highly-stratified society because they provided a means for expressing deep religious aspirations, methods for aristocrats and elites to ensure the continuation of their social ascendancy, and acceptable ways to display wealth and opulence. The aristocratic elite of Silla, through the influence of the Kogury<math> <f> <a><ac><rm>o</rm></ac><ac>&d11;</ac></a></f> </math> kingdom, first imported and assimilated Northern Chinese Buddhism, with its special emphasis on the close relationship between the state (royal family) and the church (sam&dotbelow;gha). Silla's cultural and religious leaders domesticated Chinese Buddhist cults, specifically those of dh&amacr;ran&dotbelow;&imacr; (spells), Maitreya, Avalokite&sacute;vara and Amit&amacr;bha. All of these cults first flourished due to aristocratic and royal patronage. It was not until the eighth century that common people began to participate in these cults. This evidence resonates with the findings of Peter Brown with respect to the development of Latin Christianity in Europe.

The aristocratic elite of Silla, through the influence of the Kogury<math> <f> <a><ac><rm>o</rm></ac><ac>&d11;</ac></a></f> </math> kingdom, first imported and assimilated Northern Chinese Buddhism, with its special emphasis on the close relationship between the state (royal family) and the church (sam&dotbelow;gha).

520 $a This dissertation discusses the development of these four cults within their Northeast Asian context by drawing upon exegetical, hagiographical, and epigraphical materials. The cults of dh&amacr;ran&dotbelow;&imacr; and Maitreya remained highly aristocratic in Silla during the sixth, seventh, and eighth centuries. Dh&amacr;ran&dotbelow;&imacr; enhanced native Korean thaumaturgic traditions. The cult of Maitreya lent symbolism to the native <italic> hwarang</italic> tradition and was associated with merit-making practices, such as image-making and later offerings of tea. The cults of Avalokite&sacute;vara and Amit&amacr;bha spread throughout all strata of Silla society in the eighth century. Making and supplicating Avalokite&sacute;vara images became the cult's most representative votive acts. The practice “recollection of Amit&amacr;bha” (<math> <f> y<a><ac>o</ac><ac>&d11;</ac></a>mbul</f> </math>) passed through a process of simplification in exegetical materials before becoming standardized as “chanting the Amit&amacr;bha's name.” During the eighth century, the Hwa<math> <f> <a><ac><rm>o</rm></ac><ac>&d11;</ac></a></f> </math>m tradition was able to present a comprehensive vision of Buddhism that was able to incorporate many of the cultic practices that were fashionable in Silla society. The practices of the Hwa<math> <f> <a><ac><rm>o</rm></ac><ac>&d11;</ac></a></f> </math>m tradition in Silla included the chanting of dh&amacr;ran&dotbelow;&imacr; the enshrining of dh&amacr;ran&dotbelow;&imacr; in st&umacr;pa, the circumambulation of st&umacr;pa, repentance rituals, and the worship of Avalokite&sacute;vara and Amit&amacr;bha.
