초기불교의 사무량심 수행과 MSC 프로그램 비교 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the idea of ​​compassion in early Buddhism is being utilized through MSC (Mindful Self-Compassion), which is a modern meditation program jointly developed by Christopher K. Germer and Kristin D. Nef. To this end, I will analyze the core techniques of the program and compare them with the practice of four ways in fulfilling mindfulness in early Buddhism, First, by examining the practice of compassion and the practice of four ways in fulfilling mindfulness in early Buddhism, and exploring the specific implementation and practice techniques of the MSC program, I found out the similarities & differences between the practice of four ways in fulfilling mindfulness and the main techniques of the MSC program By examining the meaning of MSC's core values of mindfulness and self-compassion as a universal human experience, It can be seen that charity and compassion in the practice of four ways for mindfulness are the foundation of the MSC. The self-compassion and compassion that the MSC program aims for has something in common with the mercy of early Buddhism, especially the four ways to practice mindfulness. The MSC program seems to incorporate the practice of charity and compassion which are a core characteristic of asceticism for the four ways to practice mindfulness As a result of the comparison, since the two methods of practice aim at reducing human suffering, it would be possible to solve this suffering by integrating & accepting the MSC program & the four ways to practice mindfulness. Furthermore, this program could be used out of this program as a specific healing psychological program. If the two methods of practice are combined and used for Buddhist counseling, it is possible for a counselor to undergo spiritual training which is more ideal psychological counseling. In the future, it is expected that concrete psychological healing methods can be developed into appropriate Buddhist counseling and meditation programs that are acceptable through experience.
