K-선명상(간화선)의 대중화·현대화·일상화를 위한 수행 매뉴얼

Abstract

We establish a new paradigm whch guides to popularization, modernization, and routinization of K-SeonMeditation (Ganhwa-Seon). The way to popularize Ganhwa-Seon is to incorporate Mahayana’s Anapanasati to eliminate difficulties in the introduction stage. This can stabilize a distracted mind and reduce discontinuity in main practice through improved concentration. The main stage guides you through the ‘Questioning Mechanism’ in which true questions arising about Hwadu converted to meditation energy. The Hwadu is a trigger the true questions, the working of questioning mind emerges, and the ball of question are formed. The modern goal of Ganhwa-Seon is to regain original mind by reducing suffering and delusion and being liberated from karma. I change the speaking style of ‘what is this’ traditional Hwadu to modern one. This can be a Hwadu that is directly related to the wish to find the ‘original self’ in the painful reality. This helps you move directly into Ganhwa- Seon, which seeks to find your ‘original self’ in your daily life. It has an inherent principle that Hwadu is naturally present without intention to hold the Hwadu. As this operation of questioning mind, energy is concentrated and deconstructed, Karmic conciousness is disappeared, the original mind appears. Based on these contents, an 8-step practice guide and manual are presented.
