Epilogue I 후기
I feel both pleased and thankful. 행복하고 감사합니다.
Reminiscing of when I wrote ‘Mind Letters from the Teachings of Sotaesan’ I was filled with grace and gratitude. It was helpful for my mind practice, and I feel both pleased and thankful that I am able to share the mind and teachings of Master Sotaesan with the world.
I wrote this book for people who are unfamiliar with ‘Sotaesan.’
This book was posted on the ‘Sotaesan Mind school’ App(Application). There were about 400 volumes written in this book and I selected 100 volumes among them.
Thank you so much to everyone who has read this work using the app.
Won Buddhism emerged in early twentieth-century Korea after a long period of anti-Buddhist repression. It is a syncretic tradition, a form of Buddhism strongly influenced by the Chŏson dynasty's Neo-Confucian ethical heritage and by Daoism. Seeking to deliver sentient beings from suffering and to create a just and ethical world, Won Buddhism stresses practical application of the dharma and service. It offers a vision of people as one family, morally perfected.
This book provides the first English translations of the writings of Chŏngsan (1900–62), the second dharma master of Won Buddhism, who codified the new religion's central doctrines. The translations here include Chŏngsan's discussion of Buddha-nature, described as a mind-seal and symbolized by the Irwŏnsang (a unitary circle); his synthesis of Confucian moral and political programs with Buddhist notions of emancipation from birth and death; and his expositions on realizing the ideal of all people as one family.
돌아보니 ‘소태산 마음편지’를 쓰는 시간은 은혜롭고 감사했습니다. 저의 마음공부에도 도움이 되고 소태산 스승님의 마음과 뜻을 세상에 알릴 수 있어 행복하고 감사했습니다.
아직 ‘소태산’을 모르고 낯설어 하는 분들을 위한 글을 쓰고자 했습니다.
이 책은 ‘소태산 마음학교’ 앱(어플리케이션)에 실렸던 글입니다. 5-6년 동안 400여 편의 글이 쌓였는데 그 가운데서 100편만 추려서 엮었습니다.
그동안 앱을 통해 소중하게 읽어주신 분들께 감사합니다.
