Before the comparison of two different country books, Beophawagyeng (the Sutra of the Lotus) Eonhae (the translation of Chinese into Korean in 15th), and Wueolinseogbo have been compared to reflect the perspective of Korean Hanguel Beophwagyeng. And Myoilbon Kana Beophwagyeng and Joglibon Beophwagyeng, also have been compared. Also Chinese Beophwagyeng has been used as a reference. All these works are processed by computerized data base and will contribute to serve as a statistical data process. This study confined to the Seopum of Beophwagyeng, because the research of the whole book is impossible to handle in this article. Beophwagyeng are composed by 28 pum(articles).
