原始禪의 本質 및 그 修習構造에 관한 一考

A Consideration on the Essence and Practical Structure of Jhāna in the Early Buddhism

&nbsp;&nbsp;The purpose of this thesis is to understand the essence and practical structure of Jh？na, which becomes the nucleus of all kind of practice in the early buddhism. It is well-known fact that Jh？na in the early buddhism is related with the itinerancy, practice and enlighenment of Gotama Buddha. However, we cannot see the clear image of such importance in the Nik？yas and ？gamas.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;In this thesis I tried to catch the essential meaning of the Jh？na, and to understand the relation the Cattasso-appanma？？？yo-jh？nani.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;The ultimate object of Buddhist meditation is to stop three obstacles, that is, covetousness, anger, and delusion. And the Jh？ria is a measure of those. Strictly speaking, it is said that purification of the mind is the prototype of Jh？ria, and all practices are ways to purify the mind.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Consequently, Gotama Buddha must be an acomplisher of s？la as well as a meditator. Jh？ria has its real value only at s？la. A result of Jh？na is never any supernatural world. It has a very clear goal to realize one"s whole personality.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;We have overlooked the true aim of Jh？na. The way to practicing the Jh？ria is never hallucination or self-effacement. When one acquires full consideration and noble character, he will approach Gotama Buddha"s Jh？na.
