Centering on Buddhist narration from ancient to early middle age in Korea, this thesis examines how the énoncé of divine response forms discourse. Through the controversy between Buddhists and anti-Buddhists during Liù-cháo period: shen-mi-lun and shen-pu-mieh-lun(神滅神不滅論), divine response in Buddhist dogma was established as a concept that justified the learning of the sage. It is a mechanism of communication that connects transcendental being and humans in suffering, and it accompanies an extraordinary événement when appearing in reality. However, by escaping from its original sphere of religion, this mechanism constructs a network of meaning, and simultaneously forms a discourse. At this time, the transcendental being is revealed as the “power” that resolves crisis, saves the world and develops human beings. Furthermore, it establishes an énoncé of fortune(福) as virtuality. The person who possesses transcendental power and human beings maintain a hierarchical relationship, that is, the power of the being runs down to humans. However, when this being establishes relations with the state authority, power no longer flows unilaterally. The state aims to heighten national prosperity and defense by securing this power, while the possessor of transcendental power attempts to imprint his self in reality by using human authority. Such bilaterality of power reflects an aspect of human authority that is equal to transcendental power.
