[개벽라키비움-천도교회월보연구회]

1. '종교'는 보수적이며, 실용주의적이다. 그것은 현실적이어서, 돈과 권력을 추수하거나 스스로 권력이 되고, 저속하다는 의미에서 세속화되었거나 되는 중이다.

반면에 '종교하기'(religioning)는 그 자체로 진보적-반항적이며, 이상주의적이다.

돈과 권력을 우습게 알고, 스스로 권력이 되는 일을 극도로 혐오한다. 하늘에 해와 달이 있고, 땅에 물과 흙이 있는 것처럼, 사람에게 '종교하기'가 있다. 해와 달, 물과 흙이 없으면 한시도 살 수 없는 것처럼, 사람이 '종교하기'를 하지 않으면[無所宗敎] 한 시도 살 수 없다.

이때 '종교하기'란 속세를 떠나는 어떤 것이 아니라, 세속화하는 것(일상화)이면서도 고결함을 추구하는 어떤 행위(상태, 과정)이다.

그것은 마음을 기울이는 것이다. 기울어진 마음은 기울일 수가 없다. 반듯한 마음이라야 기울일 수 있다. 고요한 마음이라야 움직일 수 있다. 하여 종교하기는 수양하기가 된다.

고요한 마음이 기울어질 때, 마음이 흐르고, 흐르는 마음은 청신간결(淸新簡潔)하여 '즐겁고 즐겁다!'

종교하기란 즐거워지는 일이다.

[이종린, '신교의 자유설'(<천도교회월보, 제14호), 정진홍 '서양 종교학의 미로'(현재 편집교정 중인 책-한국의 종교학)]을 읽으며

2. 이런 대목들을 읽으며, '동학'에서 '천도교'로의 개신(改新)이 이루어지던 1900-1920년 사이

• 천도교에서의 '종교'의 의미 구축 과정,
• 천도교인들의 '종교(개념)' 이해와 심화화 탈 종교화 추구 과정,
• 그러하여, 천도교의 천도교 되기와
• 천도교 넘어서기의 과정들을 톺아 보아서,

지금 이후의 천도교, 천도교'들'에 관하여 이야기해보아야 할 필요성, 흥미를 느낀다.

  종교보다 종교하기가 더 중요하다는 것은 마치 철학보다

  철학하기가 더 중요하다는 저의 생각과 기까워서 공감됩니다. 그런데 철학하기가 "함께

  철학하기" 로 발전하도록 애를

  썼던 것이 공공하는 철학하기였던 것처럼 종교하기도 "함께

  종교하기" 가되면 공공하는 종교하기가 될것같은데요.

[문화 속으로] 말의 품격

▲ 강희진 음성예총 회장

얼마 전 KBS 9시 뉴스를 보고 있는데 ‘톺아보기’라는 단어가 화면에 떴다. 무슨 뜻인지 생각해 보았지만 난 써 본 적이 없는 단어였다. 우리말을 사용하여 오랫동안 글을 써 온 사람인데 그 단어의 뜻을 몰랐다. 바로 찾아보니 ‘샅샅이 더듬어 뒤지면서 찾아보다’란 뜻이란다. 이 단어 대신 나는 ‘훑어보다’란 단어를 더 많이 쓴 것 같다.

톺아보다는 ‘톺다’에서 나온 말이며, 톺다는 가파른 곳을 오르려고 길을 더듬어 찾거나, 빈틈없이 모조리 뒤지면서 찾는다는 뜻이라고 적혀 있다. 그래서 이번 대선을 ‘톺아보기 하자’라고 뉴스를 전하고 있었다. 인터넷에서 찾아보니 나 같은 사람이 많은 모양이었다. 톺아보기라는 단어의 뜻을 묻기도 하고 처음 들었다는 사람들의 글이 올라와 있었다.

오후에 지인과 통화를 했다. 그분은 우리가 인간사전이라고 하는 사람이다. 출근하는 곳이 도서관이다. 수십 년을 도서관으로 출근을 해서 글을 쓰고, 읽고, 자료를 찾는 일을 일과로 하는 분이다. 그래서 문집이나 개인집을 낼 때 그분에게 맞춤법이나 문장이 어순에 맞게 써진 것인지 보아 달라고 부탁을 하고는 한다. 그분 말이 자기도 그렇게 공부를 하지만 순수한 우리말이 나올 때는 모르는 단어가 많고 이번에도 장구를 만들 때 끈을 매는 방법에서 나온 말이었는데 처음 듣는 단어라 찾아보고 글을 쓰고 있노라며 완성되면 보여 주겠다고 했다.

이분을 보면 생각나는데 알고 있는 단어가 많다는 것과 말하는 것은 너무 다르다는 것이다. 알고 있는 지식에 비해 이분이 말할 때 쓰는 단어를 보면 평범하다. 그래서 늘 의외라는 생각을 하게 된다. 그런데 내 곁에 또 한 분이 계신다. 이분은 단어 선택이 기가 막히다. 우리가 쓰는 단어와는 차원이 다르게 적재적소에 한자, 고유어, 영어를 섞어 쓰는데 누구든지 이분과 대화를 하고 나면 그 말솜씨에 넘어가지 않는 사람이 없다. 그래서 처음 만난 사람은 최고의 지성인이라고 칭찬을 아끼지 않는다.

동계올림픽이 한창이다. 우리 선수들이 어려운 여건에서 메달 소식을 전해 올 때 하루의 피로가 풀리는 기분이다. 요즘은 국민의 인식이 좋아져서 메달을 따지는 못했지만, 열심히 하는 선수들에게 격려를 아끼지 않아 우리나라 국민 수준이 높다는 세계 네티즌들의 글을 읽었다.

집에 들어가면 동계올림픽 채널을 보게 된다. 그런데 중계방송과 해설을 어떻게 하느냐에 따라 보는 재미가 너무 다르다. 가끔은 방송 용어로는 부적절한 단어가 나오기도 하고 너무 흥분해서 무슨 말을 하는지 자기들만의 방송이 되는 때도 있다. 또한 공중파 3사의 기자들의 보도에도 미묘한 차이가 있는 것을 느꼈다. 같은 경기를 두고도 단어 하나가 그 경기의 맥을 짚어줘 감탄할 때가 있다.

이기주 작가는 ‘말의 온도’에서 언어에는 따뜻함과 차가움, 적당한 온기가 있다. 라고 했다. 언어는 한순간 사람의 마음을 꽁꽁 얼리기도 하고 꽁꽁 언 마음을 녹여주기도 한다는 말이 가슴에 와닿았다. 또 이 작가의 ‘말의 품격’에 나오는 “언위심성(言爲心聲): 말은 마음의 소리이다. 사람이 지닌 고유한 향기는 사람의 말에서 뿜어져 나온다”라고 쓴 제3장을 좋아한다.

이 책이 많은 사람에게 읽혔던 이유는 나처럼 흥분하면 무슨 말을 하는지 모르는 사람들이 읽지 않았을까 싶다. 말을 해 놓고 후회로 온 밤을 뜬눈으로 새운 적이 여러 번 있다. 말은 그 사람의 품격이라는데 나는 세 살부터 말을 시작했다고 한다. 그런데 이 나이에 아직도 품격 있는 말을 못 해 고민하고 있으니 어쩌면 좋단 말인가. 언위심성(言爲心聲)이라 했지만 그래도 오늘 저녁 ‘말의 품격’ 책을 다시 읽으며 공부해야겠다.

[혼돈渾敦]

[혼돈渾敦]

우리가 아는 渾沌혼돈이라는 그 단어가 중국의 신화에 의한 것이었다. 

‘중국인의 신화를 알 수 있는 山海経에 나오는 ”혼돈“이란 신이 장자에 우화로 등장하다. 

인간에게는 7개의 구멍이 있는데 혼돈에게는 없다. 무분절의 상태…

그곳에 구멍을 그리는 사이에 혼돈은 죽는다. 

절대자라는 실재는 본질적 구별에 의해 이성으로 파악하려하면 절대자는 죽어 버린다’

중국신화-주석정리4 <펌>*혼돈(混沌, 混敦, 渾敦 / 제강帝江)

* 혼돈(混沌, 混敦, 渾敦 / 제강帝江) : 142~144 (143 제강 그림), 산해경 98

- 신화와 비슷한 것으로 우언寓言이라는 것이 있는데, 「천문」보다 조금 이른 시기에 나온 「장자障子」에 기록되어 있다.

Examines modern a Japanese religion and its founder, exploring issues of charisma, the concept of 'new religions' and how movements may age and change within their first generation of leadership.

"This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com.
This book examines the trajectory and development of the Japanese religious movement Agonshu and its charismatic founder Kiriyama Seiyu. Based on field research spanning 30 years, it examines Agonshu from when it first captured attention in the 1980s with its spectacular rituals and use of media technologies, through its period of stagnation to its response to the death of its founder in 2016.

The authors discuss the significance of charismatic leadership, the 'democratisation' of practice and the demands made by movements such as Agonshu on members, while examining how the movement became increasingly focused on revisionist nationalism and issues of Japanese identity. In examining the dilemma that religions commonly face on the deaths of charismatic founders, Erica Baffelli and Ian Reader look at Agonshu's response to Kiriyama's death, looking at how and why it has transformed a human founder into a figure of worship.
By examining Agonshu in the wider context, the authors critically examine the concept of 'new religions'. They draw attention to the importance of understanding the trajectories of 'new' religions and how they can become 'old' even within their first generation.

Review
An excellent study that uses the case of Agonshu to effectively connect with broader research questions in the study of Japanese religions and will with no doubt benefit any potential reader who is concerned with the question of what is 'new' about 'new religions' in Japan and elsewhere. ― Journal of Religion in Japan

Reader and Baffelli raise critical questions about the concept of new religion in Japan, which encompasses religious movements from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries . This is also a valuable reference for scholars of Japanese religions both in Japan and abroad. ― Nova Religio

I wondered whether one day a comprehensive book, in English, would be published about this important Japanese "new religion," and one updated to its post-charismatic phase inaugurated by the death of the founder, Kiriyama Seiyu (1921-2016). My wish was granted by this fascinating, splendid book, which will remain the definitive treatment of Agonshu for many years. ― Reading Religion

Offers an excellent overview of the main themes and findings on the religious organizations founded during the past one hundred and fifty years commonly known as "new religions" in Japan. Focusing on Agonshu, it contributes fascinating insights ... A very important contribution to field of Religious Studies. ― Japanese Journal of Religious Studies

The first longitudinal study of a Japanese new religious movement, Dynamism and the Ageing of a Japanese 'New' Religion, by Ian Reader and Erica Baffelli, is a superb study of Agonshu that sets a new standard of excellence. Based on thirty years of research, it documents the history of an influential religion, contextualizing Agonshu within the broader issues of Japanese religious life and social change. Highly recommended. ― Helen Hardacre, Edwin O. Reischauer Institute Professor of Japanese Religions and Society, Harvard University, USA

An excellent introduction to the landscape of new religious movements in Japan in general ... well-argued and thoroughly accessible. ― International Journal for the Study of New Religions

This book offers a fascinating portrayal of the Japanese Buddhist organization Agonshu with a focus on its founder. For students, it is an engaging introduction to Japan's so-called "new religions". For scholars, it is the best book to date for understanding religious leadership in contemporary Japan and for showing us the problems with characterizing a religion as "new". ― Clark Chilson, Associate Professor of Religion Studies, University of Pittsburgh, USA

Both authors, who have co-worked already successfully on a couple of topics, are a perfect match for this particular publication. [.] A highly recommendable monograph on a rather recent development in the Japanese religious landscape with additional interest in general questions in Religious Studies and the Sociology of Religions. An excellent and inspiring publication! ― Franz Winter, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, University of Graz, Austria.

The authors are a perfect match for this publication. Excellent and inspiring! -- Benjamin E. Zeller, Associate Professor of Religion, Lake Forest College, USA



The book offers many new insights into Agonshu ... This book is an excellent starting point for future comparative research on the aging of contemporary movements. I highly recommend this book to scholars and students in the field of religious studies and to a general audience with an interest in contemporary society and politics in Japan.― Asian Ethnology

Japanese "new religions" (shinshūkyō) have used various media forms for training, communicating with members, presenting their messages, reinforcing or protecting the image of the leader, and, potentially, attracting converts. In this book the complex and dual relationship between media and new religions is investigated by looking at the tensions groups face between the need for visibility and the risks of facing attacks and criticism through media. Indeed media and new technologies have been extensively used by religious groups not only to spread their messages and to try to reach a wider audience, but also to promote themselves as a highly modern and up-to-date form of religion appropriate for a modern technological age. In 1980s and early 1990s some movements, such as Agonshū , Kōfuku no Kagaku, and Aum Shinrikyō came into prominence especially via the use of media (initially publications, but also ritual broadcasts, advertising campaigns, and public media events). This created new modes of ritual engagement and new ways of interactions between leaders and members. The aim of this book is to develop and illustrate particular key issues in the wider new religions and media nexus by using specific movements as examples. In particular, the analysis of the interaction between media and new religions will focus primarily on three case studies predominantly during the first period of development of the groups.

Review


‘Erica Baffelli’s book breaks new ground by providing us with the first comprehensive analysis of the ways in which Japanese new religions use media forms to create marketable images of themselves and to construct images of their leaders and to transmit their teachings. Her study shows how the charismatic standing of leaders may be constructed and reinforced via media-ised processes, publications and rituals, and how new religions make use of spectacular, media-oriented rituals to attract new audiences. Yet she also shows that new religions at times have problems with new media, as her account of the ways in which they may struggle with the potentialities of the Internet, shows. As such this is a valuable study of importance to anyone interested in Japanese religions, new religions, and the media.’ -- Ian Reader, University of Manchester, UK--This text refers to the paperback edition.

Review
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Japanese Religions is a comprehensive set of essays addressing all areas of current research in the study of Japanese religions. Reflecting both ongoing work on established topics as well as introductions to emerging research on new areas, this Handbook is sure to be highly appreciated across the discipline of Religious Studies. ― Helen Hardacre, Professor of Japanese Religions and Society, Harvard University, USA

The broad range of the topics treated, the emphasis on methodology, and the use of case studies make this book a unique and indispensable tool for anyone interested in Japanese religion. ― Bernard Faure, Professor of Japanese Religion, Columbia University, USA

This is another valuable tool for studying religion in Japan, which I would warmly recommend to students and more advanced researchers in the search for updates and new perspectives. ― Religious Studies Review

Manga and anime (illustrated serial novels and animated films) are highly influential Japanese entertainment media that boast tremendous domestic consumption as well as worldwide distribution and an international audience. Drawing on Tradition examines religious aspects of the culture of manga and anime production and consumption through a methodological synthesis of narrative and visual analysis, history, and ethnography. Rather than merely describing the incidence of religions such as Buddhism or Shinto in these media, Jolyon Baraka Thomas shows that authors and audiences create and re-create "religious frames of mind" through their imaginative and ritualized interactions with illustrated worlds. Manga and anime therefore not only contribute to familiarity with traditional religious doctrines and imagery, but also allow authors, directors, and audiences to modify and elaborate upon such traditional tropes, sometimes creating hitherto unforeseen religious ideas and practices.

The book takes play seriously by highlighting these recursive relationships between recreation and religion, emphasizing throughout the double sense of play as entertainment and play as adulteration (i.e., the whimsical or parodic representation of religious figures, doctrines, and imagery). Building on recent developments in academic studies of manga and anime--as well as on recent advances in the study of religion as related to art and film--Thomas demonstrates that the specific aesthetic qualities and industrial dispositions of manga and anime invite practices of rendition and reception that can and do influence the ways that religious institutions and lay authors have attempted to captivate new audiences.

Drawing on Tradition will appeal to both the dilettante and the specialist: Fans and self-professed otaku will find an engaging academic perspective on often overlooked facets of the media and culture of manga and anime, while scholars and students of religion will discover a fresh approach to the complicated relationships between religion and visual media, religion and quotidian practice, and the putative differences between "traditional" and "new" religions.

5.0 out of 5 stars 宮崎アニメがすでに古典であることに気づかせてくれた本Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on 27 July 2013
Verified Purchase

本書との出会いは奇妙だった。『脳の右側で描け』の原本をアマゾンで検索した時、
“Drawing on”にマッチして現れた。題名とカバーデザインに興味をひかれ購入した。
(その時はなか見！検索がついてなかったように思う)

本書は一般書ではない。宗教学の研究書である。
研究書なので、本文とは離れたところに注釈、文献があり、
一つひとつの文章が長く、英語であるので読みにくい。
ただ研究テーマが、「現代日本でのマンガ、アニメと宗教の関わり」で親近感があり、
著者も日本語(ローマ字だが)をできるだけ取り込もうと努力しているので、なんとか読める。

多くのマンガを扱っているが、漫画やアニメを見る習慣がないので、ほとんど知らず、
第3章は全編が宮崎アニメに関することなので、ここを主に参考にさせてもらった。

この章の節目次は次のとおり。()は評者が記す。

Miyazaki's Moving Pictures/Framing Miyazaki as Religious/Watching Films Religiously/JAI SANTOSHI MAA/"Playing with Religion"/Animated Audiences/NAUSICAA OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND(ナウシカ)/MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO(トトロ)/PRINCESS MONONOKE(もののけ姫)/SPIRITED AWAY(千と千尋の神隠し)/MIYAZAKI'S WORLD/Beyond Borders/Drawing on Miyazaki in the Classroom/Segue

この影響で、宮崎アニメをナウシカからポニョまでのほぼ全てをDVDで見直し、
一部のものは絵コンテ(ビデオと本)で、さらに詳細に鑑賞することになった。

これらは大人が、子供とは関わりなく、正面から見るべき、内容の豊富な作品群であり、
すでに古典の域にあると考えるに至った。

同時代の古典という稀有な存在に気づかせてくれたことに感謝したい。

Well-written book about manga, anime and religion in Japan! Thomas talks about manga and anime as mediums and also how media can affect people and how media reflects religious views and ideas.

Soka Gakkai is Japan's largest and most influential new religious organization: It claims more than 8 million Japanese households and close to 2 million members in 192 countries and territories. The religion is best known for its affiliated political party, Komeito (the Clean Government Party), which comprises part of the ruling coalition in Japan's National Diet, and it exerts considerable influence in education, media, finance, and other key areas.

Levi McLaughlin's comprehensive account of Soka Gakkai draws on nearly two decades of archival research and non-member fieldwork to account for its institutional development beyond Buddhism and suggest how we should understand the activities and dispositions of its adherents. McLaughlin explores the group's Nichiren Buddhist origins and turns to insights from religion, political science, anthropology, and cultural studies to characterize Soka Gakkai as mimetic of the nation-state. Ethnographic vignettes combine with historical evidence to demonstrate ways Soka Gakkai's twin Buddhist and modern humanist legacies inform the organization's mimesis of the modern Japan in which the group took shape. To make this argument, McLaughlin analyzes Gakkai sources heretofore untreated in English-language scholarship; provides a close reading of the serial novel The Human Revolution, which serves the Gakkai as both history and de facto scripture; identifies ways episodes from members' lives form new chapters in its growing canon; and contributes to discussions of religion and gender as he chronicles the lives of members who simultaneously reaffirm generational transmission of Gakkai devotion as they pose challenges for the organization's future.

Readers looking for analyses of the nation-state and strategies for understanding New Religions and modern Buddhism will find Soka Gakkai's Human Revolution to be an especially thought-provoking study that offers widely applicable theoretical models.

Product description

Review
Balanced and in-depth ethnographic accounts of Soka Gakkai are very limited, despite the movement's influence on the Japanese religious landscape. This excellent work, based on almost twenty years' engagement with adherents and the local community, fills this gap in the scholarship and will serve as an indispensable reference for further ethnographic study on religion in secularized societies.--Erica Baffelli, The University of Manchester "Nova Religio, 24:2"

Based on years of fieldwork study, this engaging and acutely perceptive study introduces the idea of 'mimetic nation' to analyze Soka Gakkai's internal structure, its motivational system, and its aspirations. McLaughlin's extensive ties among the membership bring to life the spectrum of beliefs, practices, and attitudes to the organization, so that the reader can understand how and why Soka Gakkai has become a major force in Japanese society and politics. Highly recommended!--Helen Hardacre, Harvard University

Levi McLaughlin's Soka Gakkai's Human Revolution: The Rise of a Mimetic Nation in Modern Japan is a brilliant introduction to Soka Gakkai as an organization and as a social movement. . . . [This book] should be recommended as the most essential reading to all students and scholars who are about to start any serious study of Soka Gakkai.--Mitsutoshi Horii, Shumei University "The Journal of Japanese Studies, 46:2"

McLaughlin draws on two decades of intimate friendships with Soka Gakkai members to present a penetrating scholarly picture of the largest of Japan's modern religions. McLaughlin never became a member, but he read the Nichiren texts in the original, passed the introductory doctrinal exam, played violin in the orchestra, and became friends with many of the 200 members he interviewed throughout Japan. He provides a fresh framework for viewing the Soka Gakkai as an organization that imitates the nation-state.--Ezra Vogel, professor emeritus, Harvard University

This book is well-sourced, well-organized, and well-written. McLaughlin has been immersed in the Soka Gakkai for many years, and his data base is rich not only documentarily, but also ethnographically, with dozens and dozens of illuminating statements by and personal experiences with members of the Gakkai. His thesis, that understanding the Gakkai requires recognition of its recapitulation of many of the institutional and symbolic features of the modern Japanese nation-state, is clearly and persuasively argued. It is the most well-rounded and comprehensive analysis of the growth and continuing strength of--and potential future challenges facing--the Soka Gakkai available today.--James White, professor emeritus, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

This work by McLaughlin, as a whole, is an excellent, comprehensive and thought-provoking study on Sōka Gakkai in Japan. This is partly because it is based on quite remarkable and meticulous research . . . and because it provides a very stimulating analysis of its movements through his distinctive perspective and concepts such as the mimetic nation metaphor and the participating of members into the canon formation. . . . McLaughlin's work is surely the best among studies and writings about Sōka Gakkai in Japan that I have read in recent years, in English as well as in Japanese.--Nakano Tsuyoshi, Soka University "Journal of Religion in Japan, Vol. 8 (2019)"

McLaughlin's book offers a supremely readable and enlightening account of the social and institutional dynamics within Soka Gakkai in present-day Japan. . . . [His] book catches Soka Gakkai at a critical juncture, and it will no doubt remain a classical witness account of this historical moment.-- "Contemporary Japan"

The book's detailed examination of the Soka Gakkai's novels, The Human Revolution and The New Human Revolution, put the book in dialogue with contemporary trends in Religious Studies, such as attention to text, narrative, scripture, and processes of canon formation.-- "Reading Religion"

McLaughlin's work is well written and meticulously researched. It is a landmark study that deserves to be the key authoritative source on the Soka Gakkai in English. McLaughlin presents an up-close view of Soka Gakkai based on many years of painstaking study. His careful use of primary sources and his intimate interactions with members allow his readers to enter into the world of Gakkai followers. . . . Anyone who is interested in the future of Soka Gakkai should begin by reading McLaughlin's excellent and thought-provoking account of its present.-- "H-Japan"
