으 내 안녕하세요 저는 서울대학교 철학과에서 3항 철학을 10여 년 공부
0:17
하다가 동양 철학 으로 학과를 학을 바꾸었습니다
0:21
그리고 유학 쭉 에서도 퇴계 학문을 자 40여년 연구를 해오고 있습니다
0:28
[음악]
0:33
0:36
그런데 그 그 고등학교 2학년 대부터 2 제트 락을 하기로 마음을
0:41
먹었는데
0:43
우주 자에 가운데 진리가 있고
0:46
거칠 이를 이제 철학으로 알 수 있다고 생각했습니다
0:50
근데 새로 아까와서 언제 철학 수업을 들어보니까 철학자 우리
0:56
그 진리를 인식하려고 하는 의욕도 꾸자 인도 없는 같았습니다 그래서 야
1:02
이거 참 내 생각 많이 다르구나 해서 방황을 하기 시작하고
1:07
제대할 무렵 빼 제 향교 찾아가서
1:11
대학과 중용을 배웠습니다
1:12
[음악]
1:17
1:21
1:24
아 약주고 되고 나니까 어 아니래 어 여기는
1:28
인간이 우리가 이제 삶을 통해서 학문을 덜 찔 날 수 있다고 하네
1:34
어이 걸어라 하고 이제 전공을 바꿔야 되겠다는 생각을 했습니다
1:38
근데 마침 이제 76 년에 한국 고등 조 6 재단에서
1:44
1 응 연 생을 모집한 낮 공부가 나가지고 지원해서 이제 그 때 다섯
1:50
명의 입학을 하게 됐습니다 그래서 뭐 어떻게 보면은 안고 등 6개다 내의
1:55
제 1 기어 색 모집
1:58
이게 어떤 제 항문 일생 2 방향을 열어 준 거라고 할 수가 있습니다
2:03
4 로 당시에 우리 재단에서 이제 작금 을 책정하고
2:08
했는데 그때 아마 우리가 5년제 됐는데
2:13
어머 는 8만원 10만원 해서 이제 3년차 부터 10만 2대 이렇게
2:17
했습니다 근데
2:18
고 어머니 규모가 어느 정도냐 하면 우리 다섯 명 중에 한 분은 교사를
2:24
하다가 왔어요
2:25
교사 월급 보다 더 많았습니다
2:28
한사람 이로써 독방을 쓰면서
2:32
어 공부할 수 있는 걸 계산 하니까 단오 만들기도 나오더라 해주고
2:37
내가 어 년 또 한테 기운을 받은 것이
2:41
모자 항문 데 넘치는 도움이 되었습니다 그리고 이제 그 당시만 헤더 지에
2:48
대한 문을 공부해서 뭐 앞으로 어떻게 될지 먼저 그렇게 생각 못 하고
2:52
있는데
2:54
체적 에 내장 님께서 이제 딱 신입생 오리엔테이션을 해주시는데
3:00
전혀 무리가 뭐 생각도 못하는
3:03
아마 포인트의 뭐 한 20년 30년 지 라면은
3:08
아마 세계가 하나로 될 거다 여러분 사내들이 유럽이나 미국이나 영국이나
3:14
외국법인이 나가서
3:16
강의를 할 수가 있게 됩니다 같은 보면 이제
3:20
브로브로 의식을 아마 제일 먼저 심어 주신 분이 이제
3:24
그 의장님 2시고 으
3:34
매년 그 2000 의 농장 있어가지고 농장에 가서 이제 우리 함께 식사도
3:41
하고 까던 파티도 하고 했었는데 그때 인제 해당 님 말씀이 그 목표를
3:47
바니시 못하고 있어요 예 남을 엄청나게 많이 심었는데
3:52
얘들이 이제 합의 이런 식 문 버려주세요
3:55
우리가 얼마 대 대학을 만들 수가 있다
3:58
인제의 기르는 100년 사업 이니까 인재들 기르고
4:02
어 그룹 뭐 사업일 쓰면 된다 이렇게 하셨습니다
4:05
또 2절 수 없는 거는 누리 그 바퀴 3 원
4:09
[음악]
4:19
사모님 한테 머언 점만 째
4:22
그 관심을 받고 저길 받았습니다
4:25
해마다 이제 워커 일에 대 초청을 받아 가지고 이제 식사 대부분 해주시고
====
4:31
제드 시험을 자주 봤어요 제희들 제 1기 들은 사서삼경을 일년 반에  다
외웠습니다
4:40
다 외운다는 것이 어떻게 하는걸까요
4:43
처음엔 한장씩 외우고,  죽여 가지고
4:47
반 끝나면 반전부를 외워야 하고,  책이 다 끝나면 전체를 다 외어야한다. 
4:53
머리 메모리 오버가 온다. 
4:56
읽어도  내가 읽고 있다는 걸 느낄 수가 없다. 소리 만난다. 
5:01
유교문화는 전 근대적 봉건주의 이념으로 치부하던 시절. 
5:04
동원 주일에 오르기로 우리가 생각했거든요
5:07
그 처음의 이제 사서삼경을 배울 때 아 봉건주의 이데오르기 맞네라고 
5:13
생각이 들더라고 그래서 책을 집어 던지기도 하고,  내가 먹고
5:17
살라고 이건 외워야 되나.  그 불평불만 더 많이 했는데
5:23
한 3 년 지나고 나니까 논어에 나오는 글 구가 몇개 보이더라 
5:28
제일 먼저 보이는 게 즐길 <낙>자. 
5:32
<배우고 때때로 익히니 즐겁지 아니한가?>
<멀리서 벗이 찾아오면 이 또한 즐겁지 아니한가?>

5:41
쭉 안에 들어가면 낙자가 많이 나옵니다 
<즐거움을 모르면 군자가 아니다>
5:47
그런 말들이 살살 눈에 뜨이기 시작했다. 아 뭔가 다른게 있네. 
5:54
<아는 사람은 좋아하는 사람만 못하고, 좋아하는 사람은 즐기는 사람만 못하다. 
5:59
못하고 좋아하는 야 뭘까 즐거웠는데 못 하네 
뭔가 하여튼 인생의 즐거움을 이야기 한다. 
6:04
얘기하고 있는 것들이 권위주의에서는 즐거움이 안생긴단 말이에요.
 
이게 유학의 봉건주의 권위주의 만은 아니구나.  
6:14
뭐 이런 생각이 들어서,  한번 학문으로서 유학을 한번 해보자 이런 생각이
들었습니다 
그런 가운데 이제 퇴계선생을 알게되었다. 

퇴계란 분은 상상을 초월합니다
시가 3000 수 가까이 되고, 편지가 3천  가까이 됩니다
  남기신  작품이 뭐 어마어마합니다 그 가운데 제가 좋아하는 것은   도선 서당에 걸려있는
6:58
완락제 ,  가장 중요 키워드들이 들어가 있고, 뭐 그러면서 많은 가르침을 줍니다 
주경, <경을 주로 하되 의 를 쌓는 공부를 해야한다.>
7:14
공부는 어떻게 해야 되느냐 
비망비조, <잊지도 조장하지도 않으면 차츰 (진리와) 융통하게 되리라>
경과 의를 실천하는 과정에 진리에 도달한다고 퇴계의 시는 읊는다. 


지난해에는 이제 퇴계 귀향 450주년  귀향길 재현 걷기 행사라고 해가지고 보온사에서 도산성까지 12일 동안 걸습니다 도포를 입고. 
  3000명 동참

학문을 하면서 기본적으로 사람이 다층 구조로구나 하 걸 늘 생각합니다
겉에는 우리야 굳어있는 몸에 세계이고
안에는 우리 소통되고 있는 기운 세계이고
더 안에 들어가면 우리가 이제 마음의 세계 영성의 세계고, 
 그래서 삼층어원인데
그래서 우리가 3층을 다  관심을 가지고 다스려야 된다고 한다. 
정신과 생각을 고요하게 모은다. 오로지 나에게 집중한다. 
매일 몸운동, 도인술, 마음 다슬르기 수련.

아 마지막 단계가 마음 다스리기 인데
마음을 공부하는 것이 쉽지 않다 아
기본이 마음은 몸의 주인이다
힘이 없으면 주인이 못됩니다
마음은 자기 몸을 이끌고 갈 수 있는 힘이 있어야 된다. 

지금 우리가 교육에서 마음을 안 가르치니 까 (마이 아닌 지식 중심의 교육)
머리에는 정보가 엄청나게 많지만 마음을 몰라요 
그래도 이제  50대 이상 되는 분들한테 마음이 삶의 주인 맞습니까 하면,
대게 끄덕합니다

대학생 들한테 가지고 마음이 몸의 주인은 하면
대답하는 사람이 거의 없어요 
마음이 자기 삶의 주인이 되지 못하면 위대한 사람이 될 수가 없고
과학자 될 수도 없고 건강한 사람 될 수도 없습니다

저는 사실 현대사에서 걱정하는 게 현대사에는 병리학 만 많다. 
바른 학문이 사실 없는 거예요 
마음을 가르치는 것이 제일 바른 학문이다. 
이 마음이 주인 되는 삶의 3 
마음이 주인 되는 문화,  마음이 주인되는 학문. 
이것이 이제 언제 찾아 질지 저는 그것을 위해 노력할 것이고 적어도 그 무동
11:00
어떤 상황에서 마음이 흔들리지 않는 단계
그 정도 가야만 정치 라든지,  뭐 또 전혀 의견이 다른 과학자와 토론이 가능하다고 봅니다
11:11
그래서 나의 꿈은 열심히 공부해 가지고, 과학자들 과도 마음것 토론하고 
또 과학자에게 배우고 과학자에게 가르치고, 

함께 공부하면서 과학과 도학 이렇게 하나로 통일될 수 있는 시대
이런 시대가 올 수 있도록 노력하고 싶다. 

===

유학은 도를 진리로 삼는 인간완성의 문 체계라고 저는 생각합니다
태극도 를 저작하시고 또 태극도수를 만드신 영계 주돈이 선생
이분은 그 유학 이상을 이렇게 표현했습니다
성인은 하늘과 같이 되기를 희망하고, 현인은 성인이 되기를 희망하고
또 선비들은 현인 되길 희망한다고 이렇게 표현했습니다
바로 이런 그 유학의 이상 속에 서 우리가 유학의 정신을 느낄 수가 있습니다
12:20
그리고 장제 선생은 또 이렇게 말씀하셨습니다
12:26
천지를 위해서 마음을 세우고 또 살아있는 백성들을 위해서 도 세우고 
또 지나간 성인을 위해서 끊어진 학문을 계승하고 [위거성계철학]

이것이 학자들이 이제 학문의 이상으로 삼아야 되는 것이라고 했습니다
유학은 대상지향적 학문이 아니고 바로 주체인 인간의 완성을 지향하는 학문입니다
그래서 그 지향과 방법이 객관적 인식을 중시하는 서양의 과학과 매우 다릅니다
13:02
서양은 사실 인식을 중심으로 객관적 학문인 과학을 발전시키 데 반하여
유학은 도덕을 중심으로 인격을 완성하여 성이된 학문 성을 발전시켰습니다
13:16
그래서 바로 우리 조선이 낳은 가장 위대한 우리 유학자인 퇴계 이황 선생은 < 1568, 성학십도> 라고 하는 책을 저술 하셨고 
율곡이이 선생은 성학집요라는 책을 저술했다. [선조가 현명한 임금이 되길 바라는 마음을 답아 저수한 정치서 - 성학서] 

바로 성리학 유학에 있어서 가장 중요한 학문 목표는 성인이 된다
13:39
훌륭한 인간이 된다는 것이 학문의 목표 라고 하는 것을 알 수가 있습니다
13:45
그래서 이제 그 유학에서는 도에 뜻을 두고 도를 알아야 한다는 얘기를 공자 때부터 하고 있습니다

공자께서는 선배라 면 도에 뜻을 두어야 한다
나쁜 옷 나쁜 음식을 싫어 하는 이런 자들은 함께 의논을 대상 될지 되지 못한다 
잘 먹고 잘 사는 문제 이런 문제에 관심이 있는 사람은 우리 학대가 될 자격이 없다
그런 얘기를 하고 계신 겁니다 
아침에 도를 들으면 저녁에 죽어도 좋다, 이런 말씀하셨습니다 

도데체 도가 뭐기에? 진실이 아닌 이야기는 입에 담지 않으시는 공자께서 이런 말씀을 하시 겠습니까
바로 돌을 안다 돌을 깨닫는다
이런 것이 유학의 주된 문제를 라는 걸 알 수가 있습니다


도데체 그게 무슨 학문이야, 도를 아는 것이 어떻게 학문인가?
뭐 이런 반문을 할 수가 있을 겁니다

사실은 제가 그 10년 전에 서양철학을 공부하다가
등양철학으로 석사 논문 쓰고 박사는 논문을 쓰고 했을 때 대부분 교수님들이
다 서양 철학 전공 하는 분들이 이었으니까
끊임없이 이런 공격을 받았습니다 거기 어떻 도대체 학문이냐?
무당 부다 꺼려 아니 뭐야 심하게 이렇게까지 
말씀을 하셨습니다 그런데 우리가 이제 고전을 펼쳐보면 
학문이라는 용어를 사용하고 있고 그리고 서양에 연설을 갔다가[?] 학문으로 번역한 것은
유학 경제에 나온 학문의 용어를 빌려다 쓴 겁니다
15:35
논어를 펼치면 제일 그 첫 구질 뭡니까
  • 배우고 때로 익히면 즐겁지 아니한가
  • 벗이 먼 곳에서  찾아왔을 때 는 또 즐겁지 아니한가 
  • 남이 몰라 주어도 못 불평하지 아니하니
  • 군자가 아니한가 

바로 책을 펼치자 말자 <학>자가 나온다. 
공개 자신은 자기 일생을 이렇게 말씀하십니다
16:01
나는 열다섯 살이 돼 가지고 학문에 뜻을 두고 
30살에 대해서는 삶이 확립이 되고 
40살이 되어서는 사물에 미혹되지 않게 되고
멋이 딸에 대해서는 천명을 알게 되고 60살이 에서는
기가 부드럽게 되고 실 식사를 위해서는
마음이 아 50분 들에도 법도를 넘지 않았나
그리고 좀 더 나가면 아 중용의 가면
16:33
박학기 신문지 신사 지 명 변 g 도 캥 g
16:40
뭐 이 다섯가지 얘기 한데 넓게 배우고 그래서 모르면
16:45
자세하게 무 꼭 자세하게 물은 다음에는 신중하게 스스로 생각하고
16:52
또 생각한 다음에는 밝게 옳은 것인지 아닌
16:58
번인지 악인 t 발끝 후배라고
17:01
그렇게 해서 판단 있을 때 동일하게 실천 해야 된다는 얘기를 하고
17:06
있습니다
17:08
바로 유아기 라고 하는 학문은 1
17:11
아 칵 신문 배우고 묶고 하는 것이 학문이다
17:15
근데 배우고 묶고 하는 목적은 뭐냥
17:18
암에는 선이 무엇인지 날아서 그것 해야 하는 것이 유아 게 목적 이라고
17:23
하는 것을 알 수가 있습니다
17:26
1 1 능직 이 백지 남들이 한번 만에 어떤 것을 실천할 수 있으면
17:33
자기는 100번을 실천하고 남의 10분만에 그것을 실천할 수 있으면
17:39
자기는 1000번 노력을 한다
17:42
과연 마 이렇게 할 수가 있으며 는 비록 어디 사는 사람도
17:47
밝아지고 나의 간 사람도 강하게 될 것이다
17:52
맹자 이런 얘기가 나옵니다
17:55
빔 이라고 하는 것은 이제 사람이 있고
17:58
의 라고 하는 것은 사람이 해야 하는 길이다
18:02
근데 사람들이 그 길을 버리고 그 길을 따라가지 아니하며 또 오직 마음을
18:09
버리고 마음을 사 질 줄도 알지 못하니 참 슬프구나
18:14
사람들이 개나 닭을 놓치며 는 그걸 찾을 줄 아는데
18:19
마음을 놓 치고는 4절 줄을 뭐 않는구나
18:24
학문 의 도란 다른게 없다
18:28
싸이가 이런 버린 마음을 찾는 것이 학문인 다릅니다
18:33
s 바로 인가의 를 얘기하고 있고 그런 가운데
18:38
마음을 중시하고 있는 것을 볼 수가 있습니다
18:41
[음악]
18:49
사람은 세상에 태어나서 자기 마음대로 살도록 욕망들을 살 도록 되어 있는
18:56
존재가 아니라고 합니다
18:59
그러면 어떻게 살아야 하는가
19:01
앞면은 째 맹자의 께서는 이렇게 말씀하셨습니다
19:06
사람에겐 도가 있다
19:09
사람이 삶에는
19:11
마땅한 삶의 길이 있다 배부르게 먹고 따뜻하게 있고 편안하게 살면서 그
19:19
도에 의한 가르침이 없으며 는 사람이 짐승과 갖게 된다
19:24
아버지와 아들 4에는 시나 미세 되고
19:27
잉 검 가시나 4 n 의가 있어야 하고
19:31
도부 사이에는 후 베리 3 하고 나의 많은 사람과 젊은 4에는
19:37
순서가 있어야 되고
19:40
794 ns2 리가스 된다 뭐 여기서 얘기하는 치나미 나 의 이나 구별이
19:47
나 사례나 흰 있
19:50
요런 것이 이제 you're 얘기하는 기본적인 제 인간 삶의 도라고 할
19:56
수가 있습니다
19:57
중요하게 보면 이런 얘기가 나옵니다
20:01
천명 집 이성이 오후 솔 성기 위도 요
20:05
수도 주 의 교 라 하늘이 인간에게 명한 것이 인간의 본성이 고 그 본생
20:12
에 따른 것이 도구
20:15
그 돌을 잘 수야 하도록 하는 것에 기억이다
20:19
인간의 본성에 따르는 잘 인간 벌겠다는 실천이 도 라고 분명하게 얘기하고
20:26
있는 것을 볼 수가 있습니다
20:29
근자에 게는 업 까지 생각하는 게 있는데 밝게 보기를 생각하고
20:35
뭔가 어떤 세트를 때는 또 밝게 듣기를 생각하고
20:41
또 안색은 워낙 일을 생각하고
20:46
용무는 공손하게 를 생각하고 말을 해야 할 때는 또 총 의심에서 나오기를
20:53
생각하고 이 일이 있을 때는 공격 하길 생각하고
20:59
보이실 나는 것이 있으면 은 묻기를 생각하고
21:03
화가 나는 일이 있으면 제 화는 데다 키는 어려움을 생각하고
21:09
뭔가 새로운 물건을 얻게 되며 는 그것이 의리의 합당한지를 생각한다
21:15
보는 것 듣는 것 안색 용무 말 이 의심나는 것 분노 또 어떤 사물
21:26
새로운 얻는 것
21:28
우리 잘 매다 일어나는 현상 드립니다
21:31
이 모든 삶의 현상에는 다 최선의 길이 있다고 하는 것을 말씀하고 계신
21:38
것을 알 수가 있습니다
21:40
아 그래서 이제 우리가 본성에 따른 것이 삶의 도다
21:45
네 바로 본성은 인간의 내면에 있는 거죠
21:48
새 양 문은 객관 세계의 법칙을 아는 것이
21:52
것을 목표로 삼았다면 유아 게 목표는
21:57
내면에 있는 인간의 본성을 알고 실현하는 것이라고 말하고 있습니다
22:04
돌을 얹어 나야 알고 언제나 게 실행한 사람을 성인 이라고 부르고 있는
22:10
것이고 또 ui 의 목표는 바로 성인이 되는 것입니다
22:14
이러한 그새 양이 앙 문가 동양 의 항문이 서로 어떤 거 반대되는
22:20
방향으로 지향하고 있다고 하는 것이 얼마나 재미나는 우리 인류 문화의
22:24
현상 입니까
22:26
그러면 이제 그런 돌을 사람이 알 수 있는가
22:31
과연 사람이 성이 될 수 있는가 에러 문제 우리가 이제 한번 접근을 해
22:35
보겠습니다
22:35
[음악]
22:44
주름 되어 선정이 하신 말씀입니다
22:46
겁에 지언 제 통 서라고 한 책에 나오는 말인데
22:51
성인을 배워서 될 수가 있습니까 아버지 어떤 제작 물으니까 될 수 있지
22:57
그럼 요체가 되는 방법이 있습니까 이찌
23:01
뭐 좀 묻겠습니다 까지 필요하니까 bb 여체 다울 얘기합니다
23:07
선문답 같습니다만 은 하나가 요체다
23:12
저는 이제 하나를 않았 m 이라고 합니다
23:15
1 데미 여 채 다 않았 m 이란 묻냐
23:19
하나됨 이란 욕심이 없는 것이다 이렇게 되다보면
23:23
욕심이 없으면 은 거여 할 땐 마음이 등 비게 되고 사람이 또 활동을
23:29
하게 되면 곧게
23:32
행동하게 된다 보유할 때 마음이 텅 비면
23:36
밝아지게 되고 달라진다는 인식 능력이 빨라지는 겁니다
23:41
인식 능력이 빨라지며 는 사물에 다 토하게 된다
23:47
또 우리가 이제 움직일 때 곧게 되면은 사람이 공적인 되고
23:53
공적인 되면은 우리가 사람이 넓어진다
23:58
인간이 밝아서 통하고 공적 이어서 넓어진다 며 는 이런 사람이면 은 그
24:05
성의 아깝지 않느냐
24:08
바로 마음이 하나가 되면 마음에 욕심이 없어지며 는 바로
24:14
인간에게는 밝은 인식 능력이 있고 또 그 밝은 인식 명령을 있는 것이
24:20
아니라 인간에게는 바르게 살 수 있는 능력도 있다는 것입니다
24:26
바로 인간은 태어나기를 본성을 부여 와서 태어나서 본성 속에 는 인식
24:32
능력과 올바르게 살 수 있는 능력을 다 있다고 보고 있는 것이 유아 게
24:38
이제 인간론 인것입니다
24:42
그러다 보니까 어떤 사람은 그 돌을 태어나면서 다 알고 어떤 사람은
24:47
열심히 배워 가지고 알고 어떤 사람은 고생고생 에서 않은데
24:53
하지만 알고 나서는 다 마찬가지다
24:58
또 어떤 사람은 도를 편안하게 하고 어떤 사람은 참 도어가 좋은 것이라고
25:05
해가지고
25:06
이롭게 여기서 해야 하고 어떤 사람은 또 열심히 노력해 가져야 하는 데
25:12
성공하면 다 마찬가지다
25:15
이 마찬가지 라고 하는 것은 결국
25:20
도라고 하는 것이 자기 본성에 실현이라고 하는 것을 얘기하는 겁니다
25:25
자기의 본성이 무엇인지 알고 본 속에 따르는 삶을 살게 된다는 얘기를
25:31
하는 겁니다
25:33
그래서 우리가 유학에서는 마음을 세우지 않으면
25:37
진리를 알 수 있는 방법이 없다고 합니다
25:41
마음을 세우기 위하여 유학은
25:44
경을 강조합니다 우리가 그 경 국민이 해가지고 성리학의 양대 기둥으로
25:50
얘기하는데 불교의 참선 이라든지 고요할 정자 와 유사한 대 유아기 경은
25:58
고요할 때 넘기기 때나 항상 유지돼 대 태도로서 이제 경을 강조하고
26:04
있습니다
26:05
아마 이렇게 소리가 이제 유학에서는 성인이 그렇게 어려운 것이 아니다
26:10
아 본성을 알고 본성을 싫어하는 자가 성의 대한 얘기를 하고 있습니다
26:19
으 으
26:23
아 진실 한성 비즈 람 그 자체를 하늘도 라고 얘기합니다
26:30
그리고 진실 하려고 노력하는 것은 사람의 돌아오고 얘기합니다
26:37
진심 그 자태를 갖추고 있는 사람은
26:40
힘쓰지 않고 도주 용을 행하고
26:42
생각하지 않고 도 도 를 얻어 가지고서
26:47
자연스럽게 도회 맞는 삶을 산다고 합니다
26:51
바로 이런 사람이 이제 성인이 라고 얘기하고 있는 거죠 그 주용 이제
26:55
20 이상에 가면은 이제 그 성인의 능력을 표현한 부분들이 납니다
27:01
천하의 지극히 성실한 사람 채 나의 지급기 진실 무모한 사람은
27:08
4위 자신의 본성을 다 알 수가 있고
27:12

====
my father says i am made of stars.
he turns off the light so it is dark.

we look at the moon from the edge of my bed.

the universe conspired to make you, he said, 
just like the sun gives shine to the moon. 
you light up the world beyond this room 
like the majesty of the milky way's grace your curly hair swirls over your face. 
there are galaxies in your smile so wide. 
the cosmos is reflected in the depths of your eyes 
like far away planets only telescopes can see 
with hills and valleys glaciers and seas 
you are grand and marvelous strong and mysterious 
the history of the world is in your fingertips. 
the iron in your blood the calcium in your bones 
are made up of stars that lived long ago. 
your atoms spin like saturn's rings 

you are part of everything. 
of constellations and arctic ice 
of waves that move at the speed of light 
of starbursts brighter than fireworks 
you are a child of the universe. 

now get under the covers my father says 
it's time for you to go to bed 
he tucks me in and through the window i 
see the great full moon smiling back at me. 
i close my eyes and tonight i'll dream of stardust and planets and all that's 
between.

아버지는 제가 별들로 이루어져 있다고 말씀하십니다.
그는 어두워서 불을 끕니다.

우리는 내 침대 가장자리에서 달을 봅니다.

우주가 당신을 만들기 위해 음모를 꾸몄다고 그가 말했습니다,
태양이 달에게 빛을 주는 것처럼.
당신은 이 방 너머의 세상을 밝혀줍니다
은하수의 은혜의 장엄함처럼 당신의 곱슬머리가 당신의 얼굴 위로 소용돌이칩니다.

당신의 활짝 웃는 모습에 은하들이 있습니다.
우주는 당신의 눈 깊은 곳에 반사됩니다
멀리 떨어진 행성들처럼 오직 망원경만이 볼 수 있습니다
언덕과 계곡 빙하와 바다가 있는
당신은 웅장하고 놀랍고 강하고 신비롭습니다
세계의 역사는 당신의 손끝에 있습니다.
혈액 속의 철분과 뼈 속의 칼슘은
오래 전에 살았던 별들로 이루어져 있습니다.
당신의 원자는 토성의 고리처럼 회전합니다

당신은 모든 것의 일부입니다.
별자리와 북극 얼음의
빛의 속도로 움직이는 파도의
불꽃보다 더 밝은 별똥별의
당신은 우주의 아이입니다.

이제 이불 속으로 들어가라고 아버지가 말씀하십니다
당신은 잘 시간입니다
그는 나를 창문을 통해 안으로 집어넣습니다
위대한 보름달이 나를 향해 미소 짓고 있는 것을 봅니다.
나는 눈을 감고 오늘 밤 나는 별 먼지와 행성을 꿈꿀 것입니다

GRAY MATTER

Our Cosmic Selves


By Ray Jayawardhana
April 3, 2015





JONI MITCHELL beat Carl Sagan to the punch. She sang “we are stardust, billion-year-old carbon” in her 1970 song “Woodstock.” That was three years before Mr. Sagan wrote about humans’ being made of “star-stuff” in his book “The Cosmic Connection” — a point he would later convey to a far larger audience in his 1980 television series, “Cosmos.”

By now, “stardust” and “star-stuff” have nearly turned cliché. But that does not make the reality behind those words any less profound or magical: The iron in our blood, the calcium in our bones and the oxygen we breathe are the physical remains — ashes, if you will — of stars that lived and died long ago.

That discovery is relatively recent. Four astrophysicists developed the idea in a landmark paper published in 1957. They argued that almost all the elements in the periodic table were cooked up over time through nuclear reactions inside stars — rather than in the first instants of the Big Bang, as previously thought. The stuff of life, in other words, arose in places and times somewhat more accessible to our telescopic investigations.

Since most of us spend our lives confined to a narrow strip near Earth’s surface, we tend to think of the cosmos as a lofty, empyrean realm far beyond our reach and relevance. We forget that only a thin sliver of atmosphere separates us from the rest of the universe.

But science continues to show just how intimately connected life on Earth is to extraterrestrial processes. In particular, several recent findings have further illuminated the cosmic origins of life’s key ingredients.


Take the element phosphorus, for example. It is a critical constituent of DNA, as well as of our cells, teeth and bones. Astronomers have long struggled to trace its buildup through cosmic history, because the imprint of phosphorus is difficult to discern in old, cool stars in the outskirts of our galaxy. (Some of these stellar “time capsules” contain the ashes of their forebears, the very first generation of stars that formed near the dawn of time.)

But in a paper published in December in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, a research team reported that it had measured the abundance of phosphorus in 13 such stars, using data taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. Their findings highlight the dominant role of so-called hypernovae, explosions even more energetic than supernovae that spell the demise of massive stars, in making the elements essential for life.

More than just atoms were produced in the celestial realm. Growing evidence suggests that interstellar space was also where atoms united to make some molecules pertinent for life. A study published last fall in Science, for example, used computer simulations to establish the provenance of Earth’s water. Its surprising verdict: Up to half the water on our planet is older than the solar system itself. Ancient water molecules assembled in the chilly confines of a gigantic gas cloud. That cloud spawned our sun and the planets that orbit it — and somehow those ancient water molecules survived the perils of the planetary birth process to end up in our oceans and, presumably, our bodies.

Such interstellar clouds may have been well suited for brewing a multitude of molecules. Last fall, in another study published in Science, a research team reported the first discovery in a stellar nursery of a carbon-bearing molecule with a “branched” structure. The detection of this molecule, the researchers wrote, “bodes well” for the presence in interstellar space of amino acids, for which a branched structure is a defining feature. (The researchers made use of a vast, partially operational network of radio dishes being erected on a high-altitude plateau in northern Chile, whose location makes it easier for radio emissions to reach us from the coldest bits of the galaxy, where the alchemy of life is presumed to have begun.)

Astrochemists are excited by this discovery because amino acids, which have been found already in some meteorites, form the basis of proteins. Meanwhile, last month, NASA scientists reported the creation of key DNA components in a laboratory experiment that simulated the space environment. Together, these findings raise the odds that life’s building blocks were concocted in space and blended into the material that formed Earth and its planetary siblings.

Amid the material comforts and the relentless distractions of modern life, the universe at large may appear remote, intangible and irrelevant, especially to those of us who are city dwellers. But the next time you catch a glimpse of the Milky Way in its true glory, from a dark outpost far from city lights, think of those countless stars as nuclear factories and the starless hazy patches as molecular breweries. It is not much of a stretch to imagine the inchoate seeds of life emerging in the distance.

Astrophysicist Ray Jayawardhana remembers looking up at the night sky with his own father. His new book Child of the Universe is a bedtime story about a child understanding her place in the cosmos.Raul Colón/Random House Children's Books

Imagining your place in the universe can make you feel pretty small and insignificant, and in the midst of a global pandemic? Well, even more so.

"I think this moment that we are living through reminds us how fragile our species is, living on this small rock in the vastness of the cosmos," says astrophysicist Ray Jayawardhana. But he doesn't think that the universe should necessarily make you feel alone. It's inspiring, he says, to remember the "intimate and enduring connections that we have with the rest of the cosmos."

Jayawardhana, a professor at Cornell University, has written a bedtime story called Child of the Universe which helps parents talk with their children about some of those connections.



Child of the Universe

by Ray Jayawardhana and Raul Colón


Hardcover, 40 pages

"The universe conspired to make you ..." a dad tells his daughter as they look up at a full moon. "The iron in your blood, the calcium in your bones, are made up of stars that lived long ago."

Jayawardhana drew from memories of looking up at the night sky with his father, when he was a child growing up in Sri Lanka. "I remember being awed by constellations of twinkling stars and bright planets like Venus and Jupiter in particular" Jayawardhana says. "One night, my father told me that people had been to the moon. I was just amazed. Suddenly, that bright light up above became a place that one could visit. At that moment, my sense of what's possible expanded dramatically."

Child of the Universe is illustrated by Raúl Colón, who draws the little girl swimming through the swirling colors of space.

"I didn't just want illustrations that showed planets, or stars ... I wanted to make it a dynamic thing," he explains. "So you'll see the little girl floating in space. You'll see her almost traveling amongst the planets."

Colón says the images came to him quickly – and growing up in the '60s didn't hurt either.

"I was a big fan of Stanley Kubrick," he says. "I saw 2001 A Space Odyssey, which influenced me a lot, and the way I visualized things. That's the kind of look I wanted for the book."



"The iron in your blood, the calcium in your bones, are made up of stars that lived long ago."

Raul Colón/Random House Children's Books

Jayawardhana was pleased with the way Colón captured the experience of the child in the story — feeling at home in the universe, and at the same time, embodying it. "It's really capturing both strands of what I was trying to convey," Jayawardhana says. "That we are intimately connected to the universe — and the other aspect of feeling a sense of grand possibility for oneself as a kid."

This is a particularly powerful message to hear in the midst of stay-at-home orders and quarantine.

"We're locked in here, but there's still beauty out there," Colón says. "People forget how poetic and beautiful the universe is just on its own. I think in this time when we're sitting around, we should be able to do that: Think about the universe and the beauty of it. ... Right now is a time to reflect."




"Of starbursts brighter than fireworks, you are a child of the universe."

Raul Colón/Random House Children's Books

“A magnificent journey through the cosmos.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

“This lovely picture book can spark interest in scientific exploration, create awareness of our connection to the cosmos, and encourage dreamers.” —School Library Journal, starred review

"The simplicity of the text is brilliantly upheld by Colón’s spectacular colored-pencil illustrations. The wordless spreads are particularly compelling for their swaths and curlicues of rich colors depicting cosmic wonders such as solar flares, atomic structures, and ocean waves." —Booklist

The entire book, both words and illustrations are beautiful and inspiring. The book touched me deeply, literally making me weep in appreciation. The book does not just speak to young girls, but to anyone who has ever dreamed of who they can be and all they can do. To "look up" is to have a belief beyond ones self and to have hope for one's future. Thank you to the author and the illustrator for this beautiful, treasured gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Carefully Curated Collection!
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2017
Reading this book is a consciousness-raising experience, even for those who may have spent a significant amount of time studying world religions. My hat is off to Netanel Miles-Yepez for his thoughtful compilation.

InterSpiritual Meditation is a universal seven-step process drawn from the world’s spiritual traditions. It was developed by Dr. Ed Bastian of the Spiritual Paths Institute through meditation and dialog with contemplative teachers from many spiritual traditions.

InterSpiritual Meditation is a step towards InterSpiritual Wisdom and a foundation for profound peace among peoples of all religions. As an individual contemplative practice, it helps us to cultivate inner peace, wisdom, and compassion that is inclusive of all traditions. As a group process or liturgy, it helps us to create contemplative communities that can include practitioners of many traditions.

The Purposes of InterSpiritual Meditation are:

1. to help each of us to develop and sustain a comprehensive, satisfying, and sustainable process of meditation.

2. to help us co-create contemplative communities for people of diverse faiths and meditative practices. InterSpiritual Meditation is designed to provide a process around which meditators of diverse practices can build community.

3. to model a profound process for people of various religious traditions, and those without a tradition, to join together to create peace and to solve the critical challenges of our times.

This Online Retreat, originally designed to be presented over six weeks, will consist of daily emails covering the seven steps of the InterSpiritual Meditation:

• Motivation
• Gratitude
• Transformation
• Compassion
• Mindfulness
• Meditation
• Dedication

Six recorded audio conference calls will give us opportunities to hear of the experiences of teachers from the Spiritual Paths Institute: Ed Bastian, Kabir and Camille Helminski, Swami Atmarupananda, and Cynthia Bourgeault. A recording of the full guided InterSpiritual Meditation as well as short separate meditations for each of the steps are also included.

Two new books, InterSpiritual Meditation: A Seven-Step Process from the Worlds Spiritual Traditions and Meditations for InterSpiritual Wisdom: Practices and Reading Drawn from the World's Spiritual Traditions, are also available for an additional charge.

Sign up for this unique opportunity to learn a universal meditation practice for our times!

This book is about hope—hope for the human condition. It is a hope rooted in the wisdom of four great spiritual traditions: Jewish, Christian, Sufi, and Dakota. Despite their different religious and doctrinal backgrounds, on a spiritual level these four traditions demonstrate an amazing agreement on human values. And they witness to common human longing for love, compassion, and justice rooted in a mysterious, yet benevolent, transcendent force—God, Yahweh, Allah, or Great Mystery. The author suggests that though their words, images, and stories differ, these four traditions are all reflecting the same Ultimate Reality or Transcendent Force.

As a student of religion and their commonalities, I found comfort and peace in the wisdom of these words. In the end, finding one’s true self comes late in life after the art of living as had its way with us. At 76, and having spent a lifetime grappling with the ups and downs of living, I now feel equipped to spend my twilight years learning to embrace my true self.

From master baker, cook, and Zen priest Edward Espe Brown comes a collection of timeless essays on Zen, food, and life itself. Brown was among the Westerners ordained as priest by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi before his passing in 1971. Suzuki hoped that Zen might be transformed into a vibrant new form in the West--and in The Most Important Point, Brown fulfills his teacher’s wish with 60 essays that are distinctly American yet preserve the roots of traditional Japanese Zen.

Drawing from his time in the kitchen and on the cushion, Brown explores a range of topics, from basic sitting practice to making the “perfect” biscuit and much more. “In the words of my teacher,” reflects Brown, “the most important point is to find out what is the most important point.” Flavored with wise insights and irreverent humor, The Most Important Point brings together a treasury of teachings to inspire your own discovery.

Editorial Reviews


“[An] affecting collection...The diversity of topics and brevity of each piece make this a good resource for daily meditations. Practicing Buddhists as well as general readers looking for suggestions for leading a more mindful life will find plenty of inspiration here.” ―Publishers Weekly

“These talks really capture the modesty and down-to-earth reality of Dogen and Suzuki Roshi’s, and now Ed Brown’s, Zen. I was deeply touched by them. One recipe after another for true practice, if you are ready to cook and be cooked. Enjoy!” ―Jon Kabat-Zinn, founder of MBSR and author of Falling Awake

“This is a book that will nourish all aspects of one's life. Smart, sharp, deep, like a good meal, the wisdom that Ed Espe Brown offers us is a treasure for all time. And it makes Zen digestible, even delicious!” ―Roshi Joan Halifax, abbot of Upaya Zen Center and author of Standing at the Edge

“Suzuki Roshi once said, ‘The most important point is to find out what is the most important point.’ After a lifetime of practice inspired by his teacher, Suzuki Roshi, Ed Brown has discovered that the most important point is love and acceptance. No one expresses this most important point better than Ed. His simple, soulful, honest talks will melt your heart.” ―Norman Fischer, poet, Zen priest, and author of Experience: Thinking, Writing, Language, and Religion

“Ed and Danny, two master chefs, have prepared a simple and elegant literary feast―with Tassajara magic for its background flavor. Humor and well-chosen poems add juice to dish after dish. The Most Important Point does not shy away from relating raw personal experiences with warmth and compassion. I have no doubt that many readers will find this book, as I have found it page after page, irresistible.” ―Brother David Steindl-Rast, Benedictine monk, author of Gratefulness, the Heart of Prayer: An Approach to Life in Fullness and May Cause Happiness: A Gratitude Journal, and cofounder of gratefulness.org

“Like the best teaching in any spiritual tradition, The Most Important Point speaks to you just where you are. If you’re new to Zen, this book is for you. If you’ve been practicing a long time, this book is also for you. It is filled with the wisdom of a lifetime.” ―Ruth Ozeki, author of A Tale for the Time Being and The Face

“No matter what you think you know about Zen, Ed Brown may know more. He certainly prepares his wisdom like a meal: pungent, saturated with taste, leaving very little to discard. He makes it look easy. I couldn’t put this book down. It made me feel like a beginner all over again . . . after 45 years.” ―Hosho Peter Coyote, author and Zen priest

“Brilliant, humorous, and heartwarming.” ―Vanja Palmers, Zen teacher, founder of Felsentor Meditation Center--This text refers to the paperback edition.

Edward Brown taps deeply into the heart of our life and Zen practice as a antidote to self doubt. Along the way this encouraging book gives us unique and insightful observations about impermanence and other well-trod Zen topics. I found these insights to be gems scattered along the path of Brown's Dharma. He is a true student of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi's teachings. You will be happy you read this book. Rev.

A lot of person content, with some poetry and recipes. Some reminiscences about Suzuki, Katagiri, Tassajara, etc.
HIgh point about Zen was his adaptation of morning zazen to incorporate sleeping late and sipping coffee during the sit.
Overall, boring. Recommended only for those interested in Edward Espe Brown.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious Nuggets of WisdomReviewed in the United States on January 7, 2021

So good (should get 11 stars, but 5 = max).
Excellent lessons, in digestible chapters with culinary tips to simmer love and share, with noble intent. Also, good techniques to temper the pressures and frustrations of orchestrating a meal for your family, whatever that means to you.
The Chapter called, "In Search of the Perfect Biscuit" should be required reading for perfectionists and anyone clinging to memories of the good olde daze.

I loved this book!
The Most Important Point contains 30 years of Edward's best lectures. I couldn't put it down and had to stop myself so that I could savor it longer.
Edward can equally hold the heartbreak and humor in life, and by example encourages us all to be our best by being ourselves.
This is one to read again and again, in the same spirit as “Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind” and “Not Always So”.

What a beautiful book to read, especially during the new year or challenging times.

I’ve followed his teachings for years, starting with The Tassajara Complete Cookbook. When I went down the Zen Buddhism rabbit hole recently, he was there again. So, I added this book to my wish list and received it as a Christmas present. I’ve made notes in the book and a journal; this is a book you reference over and over again.

It’s refreshing to hear the struggles of “being zen” in our Western world... the struggles of a white guy in California, doing the best he can, studying a foreign culture, studying with some of the best teachers. His humility is endearing—it makes it easy to fall deeper in love with Zen Buddhism.

Our western culture is in dire need of many of the influences and philosophies of Eastern cultures. Whether this is your preferred practice or not, this sect of Buddhism offers basic tools for survival in our chaotic, collapsing western culture. He makes the information and concepts palatable and easy to digest (pun intended). I think he bridges the gap between eastern and western philosophies, and gives practical ways to follow a more peaceful, grateful, mindful life.

I look forward to reading more in his collection of teachings!

I’ve come back to this book a couple of times over the last few years. These teachings have touched me in ways that I always knew intellectually, but never really felt on the practical level of daily living.

From learning to offer only what you have to offer, dismissing the opinions of what others have about you, slow down and experience each present moment, and not struggling with gravitating toward pleasant things and deny unpleasant experiences; I’ve come to find a place inside me that outwardly expresses a sense of peace in how I meet the world.

“The Most Important Point” by Edward Espe Brown, will do that to you. You’ll discover the most important point.

"This joy is not dependent on any particular object. It's not dependent on you controlling things, not having anger, not having sadness. These are all gifts that you could receive and be with and appreciate - gifts you could enjoy. This elicits sukha, or ease, because you don't have to manipulate and control and chase after something you enjoy. It's already here. It's your own capacity to connect and be with and receive the gifts of each moment."

I think Ed Espe Brown might have been my first introduction to Buddhism in general. I remember reading the philosophical bits in the Tassajara Bread Book as a young teen and understanding that they were telling me something very important.

All of which is to say that I bought this book expecting it to be comfortable, and maybe not challenging. And, while I will admit it was pretty comfortable, it was also at times appropriately challenging.

It is possible to be a Christian Buddhist in the context of a universal belief that sits fairly lightly on both traditions. Ross Thompson takes especially seriously the aspects of each faith that seem incompatible with the other, no God and no soul in Buddhism, for example, and the need for grace and the historical atonement on the cross in Christianity. Buddhist Christianity can be no bland blend of the tamer aspects of both faiths, but must result from a wrestling of the seeming incompatibles, allowing each faith to shake the other to its very foundations. The author traces his personal journey through which his need for both faiths became painfully apparent. He explores the Buddha and Jesus through their teachings and the varied communities that flow from them, investigating their different understandings of suffering and wrong, self and liberation, meditation and prayer, cosmology and God or not? He concludes with a bold commitment to both faiths.

For anyone who finds vital meaning in both Christianity and Buddhism, anyone interested in intelligent ways to reconcile their differences while foregrounding their real affinities, this is a great read. Not for fundamentalists--Thompson's understanding of Christianity is more from the mystical and nonliteral traditions.

I received a book today with the title 'Buddhist Christianity: A Passionate Openness', by Ross Thompson. This title I had ordered. However, inside the cover is another book with the title 'Cromwell was Framed: Ireland 1649'. It is a different book, which I hadn't ordered from you.

Please provide me with a new book where the text matches the title: Buddhist Christianity.... I request this new item without incurring further costs or having to return the useless one I got today.

I am sure there are more of these misprinted copies.

I hope Amazon can agree to this.

This is a personal account of the author's spiritual pilgrimage. I liked his thoughts about the basic identity of the spiritual heart of both faiths. I found parts of it tedious, mainly because I am not very interested in deep philosophical theology either of the Buddhist or of the Christian variety. However, I found myself warming to the more emotional and instinctive parts, and also learning a bit more about Buddhism.

This is a very interesting book, especially being written by a CofE clergyman. It is such a complex subject, that it is always good to have perceptions challenged, and to look at the issues from a different viewpoint, so I found it very valuable, even if I did find that there are a number of non sequiturs in parts of the book. It is also very readable, so I would recommend it to anyone who is even mildly interested in the subject

About this ebook
In the first four essays in this collection, D. T. Suzuki reads Meister Eckhart with the eye of a master, pointing out where his understanding deeply coincides with that of Zen Buddhism. Next, he takes on a subject Christians often find difficult, the question of transmigration or reincarnation. Suzuki then compares the dimensionality of the crucifixion with that of enlightenment. In the later essays, Suzuki moves on to the Pure Land tradition of Buddhism, and in particular to the works of Rennyo (1415-1499) and the poetry of Asahara Saichi (1850-1932), for which he provides a rare translation.
