Variation of brain dynamics under Zen meditation has been one of our major research interests for years. One issue encountered is the inaccessibility to the actual meditation level or stage as a reference. In this paper, we propose an alternative strategy for investigating the human brain in response to external flash stimuli during Zen meditation course. To secure a consistent condition of the brain dynamics when applying stimulation, we designed a recording of flash visual evoked potentials (F-VEPs) based on a constant background EEG (electroencephalograph) frontal $\alpha-rhythm$ dominating activities that increase significantly during Zen meditation. Thus the flash-light stimulus was to be applied upon emergence of the frontal $\alpha-rhythm$. The alpha-dependent F-VEPs were then employed to inspect the effect of Zen meditation on brain dynamics. Based on the experimental protocol proposed, considerable differences between experimental and control groups were obtained. Our results showed that amplitudes of P1-N2 and N2-P2 on Cz and Fz increased significantly during meditation, contrary to the F-VEPs of control group at rest. We thus suggest that Zen meditation results in acute response on primary visual cortex and the associated parts.

This work investigates the characteristics of brain interactions of experienced Zen-Buddhist practitioners by obtaining multichannel EEG (electroencephalogram) data. Brain interactions were compared among three phases-40-minute meditation (M), 5-minute Chakra-focusing practice (Z) and rest with closed eyes (R). The similarity index S, developed in nonlinear dynamical system theory, was employed to measure the degree of possibly asymmetric coupling. Meditators exhibited, overall, stronger interactions among multiple cortical areas in meditation stages M and Z than in the R state. This enhancement was greater in the M stage when the meditator was accompanied by a thought-free and fully consciousness state. In the high-frequency band (>13Hz), the interdependence was also higher in both meditation stages than at baseline rest. However, the interaction strength, especially in the posterior regions, was greatest in the Z stage, which involved internal attention. Few electrode pairs were observed with significant pair-wise asymmetry in the Z state. The similarity is a possible characteristic of dense reciprocal and strong mutual interactions between multiple cortical areas during meditation - especially in the Z state in the high-frequency band. These results demonstrate that profound Zen meditation induces various dynamic states in different phases of meditation, possibly reflected by nonlinear interdependence measure.

The aim of this paper is to report our preliminary results of investigating the spatial focalization of Zen-meditation EEG (electroencephalograph) in alpha band (8-13 Hz). For comparison, the study involved two groups of subjects, practitioners (experimental group) and non-practitioners (control group). To extract EEG alpha rhythm, wavelet analysis was applied to multi-channel EEG signals. Normalized alpha-power vectors were then constructed from spatial distribution of alpha powers, that were classified by Fuzzy C-means based algorithm to explore various brain spatial characteristics during meditation (or, at rest). Optimal number of clusters was determined by correlation coefficients of the membership-value vectors of each cluster center. Our results show that, in the experimental group, the incidence of frontal alpha activity varied in accordance with the meditation stage. The results demonstrated three different spatiotemporal modules consisting with three distinctive meditation stages normally recognized by meditation practitioners. The frontal alpha activity in two groups decreased in different ways. Particularly, monotonic decline was observed in the control group, and the experimental group showed increasing results. The phenomenon might imply various mechanisms employed by meditation and relaxation in modulating parietal alpha.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the historical background of the setting of seungdang(僧堂) and gowon (庫院) in the Zen Buddhist temples of Song dynasty, in terms of as a Buddhist temple universality and as a Zen temple specificity, through the historical reference investigation on its relevance to the Buddhist temples of Tang dynasty. In the Zen Buddhist temples of Song dynasty, the Zen meditation space of seungdang was located on the west side of Buddha hall, and the kitchen and officiating priest's living space of gowon was located on the east side of Buddha hall. Through the analysis of historical reference it was confirmed that, in the Buddhist temples of Tang dynasty, the Zen meditation section of seonwon(禪院) was on the west side, and the gowon was on the east side too. Therefore, it can be said that, the setting method of seungdang and gowon of the Zen Buddhist temples of Song dynasty was established above tradition of the Tang dynasty Buddhist temples.

This study was done to analyze research trends and to suggest future perspectives for nursing research on meditation. The author reviewed 41 foreign research papers which had been published in the Journal of Consulting & Clinical Psychology(JCC) between 1966 and 1986, The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology(JTP) between 1967 and 1987, and The Journal of Counseling Psychology (JCP) between 1965 and 1994. The analysis of the studies focused on the concept of meditation, the type of study design, type of research subjects, type of meditation, the results of study, and the applied type of counseling and psychotherapy. The results of the study are summarized as follows : (1) When the study designs were analyzed six categories were identified (Literature reviews, Experiments, Surveys, Comparative study, Qualitative study, Others), and the majority of the studies were found to be Literature reviews (36.6%), or Experimental studies(39%), The number of studies on meditation has increased since the 1970's. (2) Most studies approached meditation with Zen and Yoga(72.5%) which were called concepts of Indian meditation from 1970's to the later of 1980's. TM(Transcendental Meditation) was used in the 1970's. (3) On the type of meditation, most studies used Zen meditation which was called a method of Buddhistic meditation(43.9%). (4) On the studies of meditation effect, most were about psychological changes(48.5%), and psychological changes and physiological changes(37.1%). (5) On the types of the study subjects it was found that 15 studies dealt with literature, nine studies investigated college students, and eight studies investigated the meditator. (6) Most of study showed the results of the meditation effect to be positive (80%). On the basis of the above findings the following recommendations are made : (1) It's necessary to do a reliable and variable analysis of research trends on meditation. (2) There is a need to study the effects of meditation in order to clarify meditation application in counseling.

곽암(廓庵)의 십우도(十牛圖)를 자원(慈遠)의 총서(總序), 곽암의 송(頌), 자원의 소서(小序), 석고희이(石鼓希夷)와 만송괴납대련(万松壞衲大璉)등의 화송(和頌)등과 함께 그 상징적 의미를 분석심리학적 정신치료와의 관련에서 극히 개괄적으로 살펴보았다. 십우도(十牛圖)에서 소를 찾는다 함은 자기(自己)(Selbst)를 찾아가는 분석심리학의 자기실현과 그 목표를 같이 하는 것 같다. 십우도의 소는 자기실현의 목표이기도 하면서 수단이며 인도자의 역할을 한다. 곽암의 십우도(十牛圖)에서는 그림자의 수용을 통한 동화(同化)보다 의지에 의한 그림자의 통제를 강조하고 있는 듯하고 남성성, 여성성의 문제를 통찰의 대상으로 삼지 않고 개성에 따르는 자기실현작업의 다양성에 관한 표명이 따로 다루어지고 있지 않다. 또한 곽암의 십우도에는 자아팽창이 해탈의 마지막 단계가 아님을 분명히 하고 있고 대중을 위한 봉사가 강조되고 있다. 십우도(十牛圖)의 그림들은 그림에 붙친 여러 시(詩)와 송(頌), 서(序)의 내용으로 미루어 볼때 다양한 해석을 내릴 수 있는 동기를 마련해 주고 있다. 또한 깨달음의 과정을 나타내는 그림의 상징적 의미가 그림의 순서대로 직선적으로 진행되는 것이 아니고 순환적인 진행을 보인다는 선행연구자들의 의견은 매우 타당한 것으로 보인다. 각각의 그림과 이에 붙친 글들을 더욱 깊이 고찰할 여지가 남아 있다.

이 논문의 목적은 『단경』에 나타난 반야바라밀사상의 연원을 밝히는 데 있다. 남종선의 실천행인 ① 무념(無念)·무상(無相)·무주(無住) ② 일행삼매(一行三昧) ③ 좌선(坐禪) ④ 정혜일치(定慧一致)의 네 가지 모두 반야바라밀의 실천행으로 종합되기 때문이다. 무념(無念)·무상(無相)·무주(無住)의 행(行)은 말로 나타낼 수 없는 절대의 경지를 표현한 말로서, 이들이 바로 반야삼매이고 반야바라밀행이다. 일행삼매는 일상적인 모든 행위에서 항상 직심(直心)을 행하여 견성하는 것으로서, 견성의 내용을 반야바라밀의 실천으로 새롭게 전개한 것이다. 좌선(坐禪)은 반야바라밀의 실천에 의한 돈오견성을 주장한 것으로서, 불성사상과 반야사상을 새롭게 종합한 것이다. 정혜일체(定慧一體)는 자성의 본성 그 자체로서 체용(體用)의 이치를 두루 갖춘 견성(見性)의 뜻으로 통일되어 있다. 그런데 이러한 단경의 반야바라밀사상은 『반야경』·『유마경』·『열반경』 및 『대품반야경』에서 유래한 것이다. 그러므로 『단경』의 반야바라밀사상은 반야사상과 불성사상에 그 연원을 두고 있으며, 이들 사상은 『단경』에서 종합되어 선불교의 출발점이 되었고, 동시에 선불교의 사상으로 체계화되어 중국의 선종사상을 완성하게 되었다.

淸初, 王士禎與長兄王士祿同上公車, 與海內文人論文定交, 一時馳聲藝苑, 傳譽京師, 人稱'二王'. 王士禎之所以成爲淸初詩壇領袖, 在文藝方面受到王氏前輩與兄弟的薰陶和影響. 家學的淵源是王士禎吸之不盡的營養寶庫. 王士禎對其兄弟們互相切磋. 勸學共勉, 尤其是長兄王士祿, 是王士禎詩的啟蒙人之一, 實際上是爲兄兼師, 對王士禎的詩歌創作與理論兩方面的影響無與論比的. 王士祿仕宦不達, 物役艱難, 尤經歷兩次被入獄的痛苦, 終生靠佛教, 又在香奩體詩見長, 故王士禎受到長兄王士祿的愛好. 王士祿的佛學修養對王士禎深有影響, 王士禎與不少禪僧交遊, 而且王士禎晩年自放逃禪, 深究佛理. 甚至, 王士禎所標榜的神韻說, 長期建樹在詩禪一致的角度, 其理論體系與參禪的原理與標準幾乎沒有差別, 所以嚴羽和王士禎共以禪喩詩, 從創作構思和作態度至於創作技巧, 皆與頓悟境地十分相似, 如王士禎《香祖筆記》卷八曰"捨筏登岸, 禪家以爲悟境, 詩家以爲化境, 詩禪一致, 等無差別. " 其次, 王士祿喜歡作香奩詩, 也有對王士禎的影響. 在中國古典詩歌的角度, 香奩詩不包含雅正文學的範圍, 反而有香奩詩爲淫靡之作的看法. 但是, 王士祿認爲香奩詩表現出人間純粹感情的抒情詩的特徵, 肯定香奩詩一定包含傳統抒情詩的領域, 具備登上中國詩歌之大雅之堂的資格. 王士禎同樣視香奩詩爲內質相同的文學, 甚至香奩詩也有諷諭功能, 能反映出當時現實與時代的眞相. 如此, 王士祿鼓吹香奩詩, 肯定重情思想, 這些顯然對王士禎産生了影響.

This paper is to study the Tang Dynasty monk poet Ling-yi's poem world and his significance on history of literature. In Chinese literature history, "the monk poets" is a very unique literature creation group. The means of a word "the monk poet", from the literal can see " he is the monk that Can write poems", which is dedicated to professionally writing poetry monk. Buddhism spread to China, from the Wei and Jin Dynasty beginning has been writing poetry of the monks, but the real meaning of "the monk poet" (i.e., professionally poetry monk) appeared to the Mid-Tang Dynasty period. The monk Ling-yi is the pioneer of the monk poets group and Buddist monk creative poem in Mid-tang Dynasty period. Although the Lingyi life is very short, only 35 had died, and his poetry has not been too much, only 44 songs, but he in this life of 35 years and 44 poems, for the development of classical Chinese poetry left noticeable imprinting. He is not just as monk's high practice and by advocating for great Buddhist scholar, also through the daily meditation in poetry creation practice were obtained at that time of many men of literature and writing respected. This paper from the poem monk Ling-yi double identity - the first is a Buddhist monk, the second is addicted to poetry poet to proceed, step by step, in-depth study as the poem monk Ling-yi's poetry creation characteristic and the creative mentality characteristics. This thesis also explores the poem monk by the creation of poetry pursuit, exploration, finally realized "poem" and "Zen" together as one "Zen poetry" creation mechanism.
