As one of the world's four ancient civilizations, China has cultivated...

Nāgārjuna (2nd–3rd centuries) and Āryadeva (3rd century) had somewhat different approaches to the interpretation of anātmavāda (the conception of the non-existence of unchanging “I”) in Buddhism. For Nāgārjuna, the founder of the Madhyamaka school, the concept of ātman is contradictory and therefore empty, since it is based not on a non-conceptual reality, but on other concepts and ideas. But...

Contemporary accounts of mystical “non-dual” or minimal-dual consciousness often describe a state beyond the ordinary subject–object framework. In this paper we propose a novel parametric introspection framework, according to which such a breakthrough is not achieved by doctrinal affirmation or mere insight into metaphysics, but by driving specific introspective parameters to critical values....

This study aims to critically examine the phenomenon of the “de-ethicalization” of digital meditation content from a religious perspective and to empirically test the effects of an ethics-based, structurally integrated Sati model grounded in Buddhist precepts. A quasi-experimental design was employed to compare a simple healing video viewing group and an ethics-based structured meditation...

본 연구는 현대인의 일상적 소리 환경이 자기조절 과정에 어떠한 인과적 구조를 통해 작용하는지를 실증적으로 분석하고, 불교 수행 전통의 행선(行禪) 원리와 ‘어울림’ 개념을 통합한 융합 모형을 제안하는 데 목적이 있다. 기존 음악 기반 명상 연구는 구조화된 청각 자극이 메타인지와 공감 증진에 기여함을 보고해 왔으나, 일상적 사운드 환경에서 자기조절 기제는 충분히 논의되지 않았다. 본 연구는 일상적 소리 명상이 감각 기반 주의 안정과 메타인지 증진을 매개로 자기조절 능력을 강화하고, 궁극적으로 정서적•관계적 어울림을 촉진하는 통합적 경로를 제안한다. 이는 과학•예술•수행의 융합 관점에서 일상 명상의 심리적 구조를 체계적으로 설명하려는 시도라는 점에서 학문적 의의를 가진다. 또한 본 연구는 수행, 심리학,...
