불교수행의 신체 치료적 적용-신념처 중심으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand how the practice of Buddhism deals with the practical problem, that is, the problem of the body, which is the representative element of the self, based on the āgama, focusing on the four foundations of mindfulness. In fact, if you look at the early āgama, not only did the four foundations of mindfulness be treated very importantly, but also mentioned in many scriptures in proportion to their importance. The four foundations of mindfulness consists of the mindfulness of the body, the mindfulness of feelings, the mindfulness of mind, and the mindfulness of dhammās. Regarding these four foundations of mindfulness, early Buddhism specifically explained how to practice the mindfulness of the body, and the rest were installed as the same is true Yeokbuyeosi (亦復如是). And it is mentioned that it follows the usage of the mindfulness of the body. The first item in the four foundations of mindfulness, the mindfulness of the body, focuses consciousness on the body to see the mind and emphasizes liberation from the body. In the end, it can be said that the early Buddhist Buddha's practice was starting from the mindfulness of the body. In general, Buddhist practice refers to trans-world, śūnya and anātman, and emphasizes nirvana and liberation, so the body is known to be relatively unimportant. However, in fact, the practice of early Buddha's era started with the body and knowing all the functions of the body. The practice of Buddhism is focused on the reason of the middle way out of the extremes. The two extremes are two systems: existence and nonexistence, greed and no desire, world and trans-world, anguish and nirvana, karma and liberation, such as pain and joy, and the system of both extremes is an inseparably connected conditioned genesis. The concept of both extremes and existence are all connected and that does not mean that any one is not unilaterally important. The same is true of Buddhist practice, so the goal is nirvana and liberation, and the achievement of śūnya and anātman, but the starting point for that goal and achievement starts from the problems of reality and the body. Therefore, the purpose of this paper examines the status and importance of the mindfulness of the body among the four foundations of mindfulness of early Buddhism practice, focusing on the āgama(chinese translation of buddhist scriptures). For the same reason, I propose sensory-controlled meditation, action meditation, negative thought breaking meditation, and breathing meditation that can solve the physical and mental pain of modern people suffering from stress based on the mindfulness of the body.
