Abstract

The aim of my paper and my talk is to introduce ritualistic aspects of contemporary Korean Buddhism. I am convinced that rituals are the most important characteristic of Korean Buddhism in relation to lay believers.

Most of the rites are dealing with the deceased, ancestors or death in general. Here I will try to introduce the most important rituals in their temporal sequence.
