절 수행에 관한 고찰

Abstract

This study looked at the bow and worship that appeared in the scriptures and discourse records in relation to the practice of bow, and it aimed to examine the methods of performing verses based on these grounds. It said that we can acquire meritorious virtues by practicing worship in the 『Increased by One Āgama Sutras(增壹阿含經)』, and you can feel and respond with the Buddha through the earnest worship in the 『Scripture on Past and Present Causes and Effects(過去現在因果經)』, and in the 『Sutra of the Buddha's Explanation for the Layman Śuka of Distinctions in Karmic Retribution(佛爲首 迦長者說業報差別經)』, it said that physical and mental merit can be obtained through worship, and 『Sutra on the Contemplation of the Two Bodhisattvas Medicine King and Superior Medicine(觀藥王藥上菩薩經)』 states that karmic hindrance can be annihilated. The first method of bowing is to focus on breathing while breathing and being aware. This becomes an opportunity to notice both the body and the mind at the same time, if this continueslower part of the abdomen is penetrated and hypogastric breathing is natural. Second, it is a method of bowing while repenting. If you continue to bow in a stable state of body and mind, wrong memories of the past come up. At this time, if you repent wishfully, great spiritual awakening arouse from your mind. Third, it is a way to bow while making a vow. It is a desirable bowing practice to transfer his/her merit to all sentient beings, including oneself with spiritual awakening Bowing practice has the advantage of not being constrained by time and space in daily life, so if you bow every day, it becomes the vitality of your life and gives you mental healing. furthermore, if continue to bow practice, your obsession be empty and you feel a state of balance and happiness. The ultimate purpose of bowing is not only for mental and physical effects, but also to liberate from the suffering of life and death through enlightenment and to find the true self. Through steady bowing, I hope that modern people will maintain their spiritual health and materialize a spiritually mature life and a happy world.
