가르침과 배움의 양식으로서 선문답 = Son Dialogue As A Method of Teaching and Learning

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In the modern paradigm, the scientism of psychology is motivated by a mode that the world cannot be mastered without scientific method. At the root of the modern scientific attitude is a dream of presece, a desire to know the world through a language which represents the world transparently. Presence means perfect representation, where language is simply a transparent representational medium for describing the natrue of the world, making it present, without interposing itself between the observing subject and the world. Presence is where the subject sees clearly and systematically and where speech is merely the means of accurately communicating thoughts from one rational subject to another. But this assumption has the misunderstanding of subject. For example, understanding Being of subject in this way, Descartes found the subjectivity of the subject in the ego cogito of mortal man. It conversely missed the possibility of inner form originated from the up-change of subject and the re-scendence of being within the world. It is that transcendence is firstly the relationship between being and Being starting from the former and going towards the latter. Transcendence is, however, at the same time the relationship leading from the changeable being to a being in repose. Our educational system has not yet really prepared us for such a task. It may seem small comfort to hear Soˇn Buddhism [禪佛敎]of Eastern tradition. Soˇn gives us a new point of view on the things, a new way of appreciating the truth and beauty of life and the world, by discovering a new source of energy in the inmost recesses of consciousness. Soˇn emphasizes the training of attention and pure awareness, and it encourage its students to pracitice infusing them into everyday life. Simultaneously, Soˇn masters aimed to bring their students so intimately in touch with the `Being of Life which animates all things` that they felt its own awareness vibrate within themselves. Communication is very important in Soˇn practice. That is the Soˇn question and answer method. It is a dialogue taking place between a master and his student. But this dialogue differs from the communication of teacher and students in modern classroom. Soˇn is the dialogue between Being and being, between groundless ground and man. Therefore, teaching and learning of Soˇn come out of the self, it return to the self. Soˇn dialogue is designed to be become enlightened ourselves. We are attracted to analytical knowledge or discriminative understanding, and we divide reality into several pieces. Analyzing the reality of the world, you will have missed the point entirely. At that time, our time of being fade away beyond our life. Soˇn is a way of life, a state of being, that is not possible to embrace in any concept whatsoever, so that any concepts, any ideas, and words that I shall put across to you will have as their object, showing you the limitations of words and of thinking. In such instances, Soˇn master and student interact in mutuality and co-responding not separated the field of living
