고려대장경의 선관경전(禪觀經典) 고찰과 적용 - 중국 초기에 한역된 선관경전을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This paper focused on the seon meditation sūtra (禪觀經典) contained in Goryeo-Dynasty's Tripitaka (高麗大藏經) and sought ways to apply meditation based on Buddhist scriptures. The scriptures that describe the method of carrying out the Son and its utility are called the seon meditation sūtra (禪觀經典). In this paper, we categorized and organized the seon meditation sūtra, which had a great influence on the seon meditator in early China. The seon sūtra (禪經) was the foundation of the seon developing in China and influenced the Chinese seon sect (禪宗)'s meditation method. The vipassana sūtra (觀經) refers to the name of the Buddhist scripture as ‘vipassana (觀)’. The first feature is that the Buddha and the Bodhisattva meditate. Second, each meditation method is explained step by step or sequentially. Third, it is mainly related to Mahāyāna sūtra (大乘經典). Next, samadhi sūtra (三昧經) emphasizes that Buddha or Bodhisattva should join a certain samadhi or realize the reason for emptiness and achieve it. However, the process showed that samadhi's method and format were not specific. Finally, focusing on the contents of meditation based on these Buddhist scriptures, the ‘seon meditation usage dictionary’ was presented as its modern applicability. By providing a clear meaning and use case for seon meditation terms, this ‘seon meditation usage dictionary’ will be a guide in establishing the foundation of seon meditation and practicing meditation.
