불교의 선사상(禪思想, Zen Buddhism)과 양자역학은 본질적으로 다른 영역—영적 수행과 과학적 이론—에 속하지만, 철학적·개념적 유사성으로 인해 흥미로운 비교가 가능합니다. 선사상은 직관적 깨달음과 현실의 본질을 직접 체험하는 데 초점을 맞추며, 양자역학은 물리적 세계의 근본적 행동을 확률과 관찰로 설명합니다. 아래에서 선사상과 양자역학의 주요 접점을 비교하며 간략히 정리하겠습니다. 1. **현실의 본질: 비실체성과 비결정성** - **선사상**: 선불교는 "공(空, Śūnyatā)" 개념을 강조하며, 모든 현상에 고정된 본질이나 실체가 없다고 봅니다. 현실은 고정되지 않고, 끊임없이 변화하며, 이를 직관적으로 깨닫는 것이 깨달음의 핵심입니다. 예를 들어, 선 수행은 언어나 개념을 초월해 현실을 ..

디지털 불교란? 디지털 불교(Digital Buddhism)는 불교의 가르침과 실천을 현대 디지털 기술과 결합하여 전파하고 수행을 지원하는 새로운 형태의 불교를 의미합니다. 인터넷, 소셜 미디어, 스마트폰 애플리케이션, 가상현실(VR), 메타버스 등 다양한 디지털 도구와 플랫폼을 활용하여 불교를 현대 사회에 적응시키고, 전 세계 사람들에게 보다 쉽게 접근할 수 있도록 하는 현상입니다. 1. 디지털 불교의 주요 특징 디지털 불교는 전통적인 불교를 디지털 환경에서 재해석하며 다음과 같은 형태로 나타납니다: * 온라인 법회 및 명상: YouTube, Zoom, 팟캐스트 등을 통해 시간과 장소의 제약 없이 법문 스트리밍, 명상 지도, 온라인 법회 참여 가능 (예: 스님들의 유튜브 채널, 정토회 라이브). * 디..

1. 대한불교 조계종 서론조계종의 기원: 대한불교 조계종의 기원은 중국 선종의 영향을 받아 한국에서 발전한 불교 종파로 거슬러 올라갑니다. 특히, 9세기 신라 시대에 도의 국사(702-780)가 혜능 대사(638-713)의 법맥을 전파하면서 조계종의 기초가 마련되었습니다. 도의 국사는 혜능의 제자인 선사 신수의 법을 받아, 한국 불교에 선종의 맥을 이어냈습니다. 이로 인해 조계종은 선(禪)의 전통을 중심으로 발전하게 되었습니다. 그 후, 고려 시대에 이르러 지눌(1158-1210)과 보우(1301-1382) 등의 큰 스님들이 조계종을 중흥시키며, 한국 불교의 주류로 자리잡게 되었습니다. 명칭의 유래: 조계종의 '조계'는 중국 혜능 대사의 법호인 '조계(曹溪)'에서 유래되었습니다. 혜능은 중국 광동성의 조..
