한국(韓國) 선도기공(仙道氣功)과 현대단학(現代丹學)의 혼(魂)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In the Korean Sundo tradition (the world`s earliest form of Do, or “Tao道,” in which you become one with Heaven through enlightenment), the all of existence is viewed from this three divided elements of CHUN 天 (heaven)·JI地 (earth)·and IN人 (human) are look forward. In other words, a human being is seen as a single one when he/she is born, but it is expressed in three: the first being the thought of the brain, the second being the warm love of the heart, and the third being physical behavior and movements. For a human being, heaven indicates the brain, the earth indicates lower abdomen, the center of physical power, and what is called human indicates the conscience and love in the heart. Within the domain of the brain`s activities are information and thoughts. “Ji,” the earth, is what can be seen materially in reality, like a mass, and it is also physical activity. “In,” the human, is called the spirit that connects these two to make them complete. Among the three elements, “In,” the human, becomes the central point that creates harmony. “In” takes on the part of harmonizing the conflicts and struggles of existence to effect peace through the harmonization of the three elements of Chun, Ji, and In. A human being has 3 places in the body called upper, middle and lower “dahn jon丹田” that pertain to Chun, Ji and In. The three elements of Chun, Ji, and In are expressed in the human being as the three elements of YOUNG靈 (soul),·HON魂 (spirit), and BAEK魄 (body). Among them, the role of “In,” or the “Hohn” (spirit), that exists in the middle dahn jon within the chest is considered the most important. In modern Dahn Hak, the “Hon” is explained by 3 principles: the principle of revolution and rotation; the principle of centripetal force and centrifugal force; and the principle of fairness and equality. These are principles that must be upheld by individuals, society, and nations. “Sundo Suhaeng” (physical training for enlightenment, as well as the application of the study of aforementioned three principles of the “Hon” and what you know to all common activities of daily life) begins with performing the studies of “jigam止感” (controlling emotions), “joshik調息” (making your breath calm and serene), and “geumchok禁觸” (rejecting physical temptations to overcome one`s desires) to realize “ki氣” energy. Once you have awakened to and realized “ki” energy, your brain recalls good and positive information, and much of the pain and illness in your body becomes healed naturally. Similarly, the process of Sundo Suhaeng is that of awakening the three internal elements of “Chun,” “Ji,” and “In” through the “Hon” in the middle dahn jon. In Sundo Suhaeng, allowing “ki” energy to become expressed through a carrier, through the body, is sometimes called ‘仙道氣功’ “Sundo-Kikong.” One can only come to know the “Hon” through “ki” energy; however, knowing “ki” energy does not guarantee experiencing “Hon.” One may say that at the source of “ki” energy resides the “Hon.” Therefore, it is the “Hon” that controls and directs the “ki” energy. This is how the Korean Sundo differs from the Chinese-originated “Taoism.” In modern Dahn Hak‘丹 學’, “ki” energy is referring to the “Hon.” If one knows how to govern and temper the “ki” energy within one`s body through the training of “jigam, joshik and geumchok,” one realizes that one can even govern and direct his own body willfully. Energy meridians, the pathways through which “ki” energy travels, are not seen, yet they exist. “Ki” energy also exists and may be felt but cannot be seen. One may come to experience “ki” energy within energy through the wind. Wind is a traveling of “ki” energy. “Ki” energy has six forms. The application of these six energies to the human body is the 12 meridians.
