‘Banseung’ and ‘Shikdang-Jakbeop’ mean offering some food to monks. There are many studies on ‘Banseung’ and the descriptions about its origin and types are very specific, but there is no concrete comment about its practice.On the other hand, ‘Shikdang-Jakbeob’ became a part of ‘Youngsanjae’ and its text and procedure were completely internalized but there is no comment about its origin.This paper clarifies that the systematic performance of ‘Banseung’ became ‘Shikdang-Jakbeob’ and the origin of ‘Shikdang-Jakbeob’ is from ‘Banseung’. So these two theses have a close relation something like interlocked together.‘Shikdang-Jakbeob’ is named from the performance of ‘Oshijungong’, so ‘Oshijungong’ is ‘Banseung’. ‘Banseung’ which was performed at daytime as an independent or a massive ceremony became a part of ‘Youngsanjae’ and this was named ‘Shikdang-Jakbeob’ which was complementary to ‘Suryukjae’.As we summarize the scene and the procedure of ‘Shikdang-Jakbeob’, “ … there are full of ‘Jangum’ decorating the place and it reminds us of ‘Youngsanhyesang’. the eye of ‘Kumdangjoa’ to protect the people is so extraordinary … ‘Baekchu’ is in the middle of the place and ‘taju’ who takes care of people is so kind … ‘Jungsu’ who controls the performance is so serious …”The contents of the text consist of elements that make us control our spiritual aspects. ‘Boempae and Jakbeob’ make people concentrate on their performance. Some kind of Dharma go through the performance, so there is no place for affliction and delusion. It makes the offering of meals to monks natural. So maintenance of order is not so much the fundamental purpose as the attached effect.‘Banseung’ going through this process is upgraded to ‘Shikdang-Jakbeob’ and its atmosphere is luxurious, orderly and ‘Jakbeob’ is very beautiful. So it has become the peak of beauty in ‘Youngsanjae’. That kind of beauty and feeling can’t be seen in the sutra of prajna.As a conclusion, the systematic performance of ‘Banseung’ became ‘Shikdang-Jakbeob’ and the origin of ‘Shikdang- Jakbeob’ is from ‘Banseung’. This paper clarifies that these two theses are so close as to be interlocked.
