Buddhism is based on a mind or one mind, foundation of all truth in traditional.
This implies that the origin of all life in the universe, including myself is directly connected through the mind.
Buddhism presents Gwanbeop(A method of obtaining insight into Truth 觀法) as way of practice to realize essence of the mind, foundation of all truth. Practice of this Gwanbeop is a important way to go right to the main point of buddha world because it is based on main point our closest own mind.
In particular, the Zen sect of Buddhism based on Mahayana's practice principle claims to Jikji Insim(Direct pointing to the mind 直指人心), Gyeonseong Seongbul(Seeing self-nature and attaining the Buddhahood 見性成佛) and emphasizes that cannot find out buddha anywhere without this mind.
Therefore, Gwansim(Contemplation of the mind 觀心) can be practical and self-aware at this place is a unlimited practical character applied to anyone, anytime, anyplace, in any situation.
In this context, Ven. Myogong Daehaeng(妙空 大行, 1927-2012) presents Hanmaum(One mind) as the totality of the entire universe including myself and stand for the Juningong Gwanbeop, system of practice to embodies it as subjective juningong(Buddha nature).
The Juningong Gwanbeop of Daehaeng is based on Tathagata zen, practice thoughts of buddhism tradition. It is shown that Daehaeng claim to Juningong Gwanbeop as Tathagata zen directly. This Tathagata zen as practical thoughts of Mahāyāna spread out and developed in Patriarchal zen and has an effect on in East Asia region. It is shown Daehaeng's Juningong Gwanbeop consistently. So Tathagata zen, the key to buddhist traditional one mind has connection with Juningong Gwanbeop, the key to Daehaeng's one mind.
Like this, Daehaeng's Juningong Gwanbeop has a practical character of Tathagata zen, directly coinciding with one mind of absolute equality, and that has character as living zen. In this aspect, Daehaeng is adhere to practical position unseparated life and buddhism based on essential own mind.
Like this, free and traditional practical trend of Daehaeng makes everyone awaken a reason in everyday life.
In other words, She recreates traditional Tathagata zen as Juingong Gwanbeop keeping up with the times and re-incarnated newly practical way of the living Zen that it makes moden people self-aware right now anyone, anyplace, anytime, in any situation.
