Abstract

This paper examines the well-known 'Juingong contemplation method (主人空觀法)' and 'Verification contemplation (證明觀)' and the relationship between the two. A new term, the "Daehaeng-Seon Contemplation Method (大行禪觀法)" is necessary in order to differentiate it from other contemplation methods (觀法) such as Juingong contemplation and others. First of all, the structures of both Juingong contemplation and verification contemplation consist of three stages: the gradual process of self-reflection, full-fledged Juingong contemplation, and verification contemplation. Juingong contemplation has four elements: believing, discarding, entrusting, and observing. These prove the value of Juingong in daily life. In addition to these four elements, self-reflection and verification are also required. These six elements are subcategories of the Daehaeng-Seon contemplation method and the practice of Juingong contemplation. Verification contemplation focuses solely on verification so it has no subcategories. The aim of both Juingong contemplation and verification contemplation is the manifestation of one's own Juingong. However, Juingong contemplation emphasizes 'daily living Seon (生活禪)' more which requires 'oneness of practice and daily living (生修不二)'.
