대학생의 자기성찰에 미치는 『법구경』의 영향 -동국대 <지혜와 자비 명작세미나> 수업 사례를 중심으로

초록

This paper analyzes the influence of the Buddhist scripture Dhamapada (法句經) on self-reflection of college students through actual operation cases of seminar classes. In a survey conducted during class, 95.9% of the students responded that ‘I have experienced suffering’, and about 60% of the students answered that ‘Dhamapada helped to resolve the suffering’. It can be confirmed that the reading experience of Dhamapada helps students self-reflection and brings about the following inner changes. First, by reflecting on one's own desires, one finds a way to be free from desires. Second, get away from the negative feelings of comparing to others and seek to establish an amicable relationship with others. Third, it is possible to establish a desirable life attitude to live as the 'master' of one's mind. As a whole, they experience the process of psychological healing to subdue negative emotions such as anxiety and fear along with the cognitive process of the cause of suffering. These changes will help restore self-esteem based on one's mind and establish a balanced relationship between oneself and others. It will be necessary to expand the area of this reading experience through other Buddhist scriptures as well.
