『능엄경』의 명상적 특징과 그 치유적 성격

Abstract

If the practical asceticism of reaching the ultimate goal through meditation is meditational asceticism, it is necessary to identify the theoretical foundation of practical asceticism. In this perspective, this study aims to identify the meditational properties of “Neungeomgyeong,” and its healing characteristics through meditation structure and principle of psychological healing. As the meditation structure, “Neungeomgyeong” states the existence of one’s mind as Ijonggeunbon (二種根本). The reason for the living to fail to escape from karma and fail to achieve incom- parable enlightenment and wisdom is mainly due to failing to fully understand the two principles. These two principles are ba- nyeonsim and boriyeolbancheongjeongche. The practice of ban- munmunjaseong (反聞聞自性) is the core element in Avalokiteshvara igeunwontong practice in Neungeomgyeong, but despite its fine definition, Neungeomgyeong emphasizes the establishment of the two decisions made from the inception of enlightenment. The practice of banmunmunjaseong (反聞聞自性) emphasizes the prin- ciple of the listening, munseong (聞性), rather than following sounds, and it states that one can reach yeoraemyojinyeoseong. The principle of psychological healing and resolving of fear is in the studying of oeummajang (五陰魔障) and the entailment of healing of simuwe (施無畏). Oeummajang is utilized as the practice guide as it prevents sickness and error by clearly identifying the boundaries of delusions during practicing, and guides one to gain Buddhaphala (佛果) without hindrance. The reason for the obstruction of mara to occur depends on the mind of the individual in practice, therefore it allows one to respond to the obstruction of mara singlehandedly. One of the goals of simuwe healing is to overcome the fear and pain while identifying the virtue of faith and practicing. As the living fears and worries about various pains, it generates the feeling of powe, and having the feeling of powe means to fear the pain that will occur in the future. Salvation from pain by Avalokiteshvara is expressed by charitable acts of simuwe. The living falls victim to the pain and fear of life and death, and finds themsevles in anguish due to vain obsessions. The principle and method of healing capable of resolving the mental pain suffered by the modern people are presented in the structure and principle of meditation in Neungeomgyeong.
