A Meditation Journey for Seeking Myself (나를 찾아가는 명상 여행)
정여 스님
2014년에 출간된 정여 스님의 [나를 찾아가는 명상 여행]이 영문판으로 새롭게 출간됐다.
오늘날을 살아가는 현대인의 삶은 팍팍하다. 디지털의 이기에 쫓겨 무엇이든 빨리 빨리 해내지 않으면 도태되기 일쑤다.
어디로 가고 있는지, 어디로 가야하는 지도 모른 채, 지금 내가 어디에 있는지를 돌아볼 여유도 없이 그렇게 살아간다.
쉴 틈 없이 달리다 보면 종종 이상신호도 감지한다. 기계가 고장나면 수리를 맡기면 될 것이고,
몸이 고장나면 의사에게 맡기면 될 일이지만, 혼자서는 진단하기도 힘든 마음의 병이 생길 때면 갈피를 잡지 못해 답답할 따름이다.
갈피를 찾아 정처 없이 내딛는 걸음 끝에, 이윽고 사람들은 ‘명상’을 만난다.
그런데 명상이란 무엇인가에 대한 물음에 곧 다시 제자리걸음을 반복한다.
명상은 무엇이며, 어떻게 해야 하는 것이며, 방법은 따로 있는지, 적당한 장소는 어디인지,
눈을 감아야 하는지 떠야 하는지, 서야 하는지 앉아야 하는지, 어떤 생각을 그려야 하는지,
지금 하고 있는 ‘명상’이 세상에서 말하는 그 명상이 맞는지.
수행자들의 좌선 모습을 흉내내며 앉아있어도 알쏭달쏭하기만 한 ‘명상’을
알기 쉬운 일상언어로 소개하는 『정여스님의 명상산책-나를 찾아가는 명상 여행(권1)』-도서출판 맑은소리맑은나라-이 출간됐다.
Fragrant Leader
Bikkhu Jeong Yeo is an invaluable person in our society, who has realized that the fundamental spirit of religion transcends religious colors and unity in diversity comes from the practice of love and compassion.
I wholeheartedly congratulate the publication of the writings of Master Jeong Yeo, whom I have always respected.
This book is definitely noble and beautiful, since writing is the expression of one’s thought and reveals character of the person.
Let us all read the book of Master Jeong Yeo and try to be people with fragrant hearts. Let us be the precious ones who make everyone happy.

A Great Religious Leader
Last year, I traveled to India and studied meditation. People from all over the world come to India for meditation. However, the answer is already within the self. One may not know the way though.
Meditation is the wisdom of finding the way inside one’s own heart. Meditation is widely used in religion, psychology, welfare, medicine, art therapy, etc. Steve Jobs also reigned over his mind through meditation.
This collection on meditation published by Master Jeong Yeo who has practiced meditation himself for many years, remaining faithful to the basics of meditation, while explaining it in a way that anyone can understand easily. Furthermore, I am sincerely grateful for his illustrations in the book, as he is a also master of Seonhwa (meditational art) that brighten mind, deepen meditation and heal just by looking at them.
I now think of him as my older brother and follow him because of the relationship that started when he was the chief monk of Beomeosa Temple and ever since I rejoice this acquaintance. Many people will regain their peace of mind and feel comfortable and happy while reading his meditation book. I am so happy when I think of it.
I am happy to walk hand in hand with this great monk for peace on the Korean Peninsula and for healing the world, transcending religion.
Love and peace to everyone! Om Shanti!

Just stop for a moment.
Take a moment and listen to yourself.
Feel the waves of energy within your mind.
And feel your mind as the blue sky.
Meditation makes your mind happy.
Meditation is done with mind, not with head, it is said.
Life is constantly creating thoughts and you live on despite being tired of the thoughts that you create.
Meditation and healing become invaluable when both your body and mind are suffering.
In a complicated modern society, meditation is like a life- companion.
Meditation calms life and quietens wavering mind.
A disturbed mind makes life tired, difficult, and wavering that cause distress and suffering to self.
Desire and greed, such as wealth, fame etc. may seem to make life happy, but in the end, they continue to make life stressful, difficult, and tired.
Meditation is not happiness by filling, but by emptying. Understanding with head and concentrating on theories is not even half of meditation.
Meditation is a journey along with body, mind, and heart. Body and mind become calm and happy on becoming one through training.
Meditation aims at understanding the root cause of fatigue and difficulties in life and its logical removal. It would be similar to a doctor’s job of knowing the cause of patient's illness and treating accordingly.
There is a big difference in practicing it after understanding a little of what the self is than without knowing.
Understanding self and practicing meditation resembles clear water:
The clear water poured into a cup remains the same even on shaking.
When shaken hard, the water will move vigorously, but it will always remain the same as before.
Fully aware of self-mind, a person practicing meditation remains as pure as clear water, unstained by dirt. That is why he remains always happy.
On the other hand, practicing without understanding of self, resembles muddy water. One may feel that the mind is becoming clearer by practice and may even feel good about it, but when rattled by someone, anger and irritation burst out. When you arrive at deep meditation through the body, mind and enlightenment, your pain, agony also disappear and the spiritual world becomes beautiful and comfortable, like the fragrance of flowers on a spring day.
This practice is about becoming confident and comfortable more and more.
Spiritual training makes soul clear and clean.
Meditation leads one to hope.
The power to freely control the mind would raise life to a higher level of happiness.
