Abstract마음챙김 명상은 마음을 완전히 안정시키고 개인의 몸과 느낌과 마음 및 관련된 요소들의 실제 활동에 대한 자각을 유지시키는 하나의 방법이다. 오늘날 점점 더 많은 사람들이 마음챙김 수련의 핵심적인 특징으로서 현 순간에 대한 자각을 강조하고 있으며, 결과적으로 마음챙김을 현재의 순간에 머무르는 기술로 간주하고 있다. 그러나 시간의 관점에서 보면 현재라는 것은 끊임없이 변동한다. 마음챙김이 현재의 순간에 대한 자각이라면 그것은 과연 어느 정도까지이며, 그러한 자각 속에서 과거와 미래는 어떠한 역할을 하는가? 이 논문에서는 『염처경(Satipaṭṭhānasutta)』과 명상수행에 관한 다른 불교문헌들을 검토함으로써 그러한 문제를 다루고자 한다. 만일 마음챙김이 명상에의 몰입(Pāli, jhāna)과 집중(Pāli, samādhi) 그리고 열반을 포함하여 그 최대치로까지 개발되어야 하는 것이라면, 단지 현재의 순간에만 집중하거나 우리의 경험을 판단하지 않고 관찰하는 것만으로는 이론적으로나 실천의 측면에서나 『염처경』에서 설해진 많은 목표들을 성취하기에 충분하지 않을 것이다. 이 논문은 현재라는 것이 머무르지 않는데도 어떻게 마음챙김과 명상에의 몰입이 가능한가 하는 어려운 문제에 대답하기 위해서 이론적으로 시간과 시간성에 관한 철학적 사유가 요청되며, 또한 존재의 총체적인 고통을 극복하는데에 있어 과거와 미래 그리고 현재를 다루는 보다 포괄적인 전략 또한 실천적으로 필수적이라는 점을 인식할 것을 제안한다.

Mindfulness meditation is a way to steady the mind from the ground up and maintain awareness of the actual activities of one’s body, feelings, mind, and related factors. Nowadays, more and more people emphasize present-moment awareness as a key feature of mindfulness exercises and consequently regard mindfulness as the art of being in the present moment. However, from a temporal perspective, the present is constantly fluctuating. To what extent is mindfulness about present moment awareness and what role do the past and future play in that awareness? This paper seeks to address this issue by exploring the Satipaṭṭhānasutta (The Discourse on the Ways of Attending to Mindfulness) and other Buddhist texts on meditative practices. If mindfulness is to be developed to its maximum capacity, including meditative absorption (Pāli, jhāna), meditative concentration (Pāli, samādhi) and nibbāna, then just focusing on the present momentz and non-judgmentally observing our experiences will not be enough, both theoretically and practically, to achieve many of the stated goals of the Satipaṭṭhāna-sutta. This paper proposes that,
theoretically, a philosophy of time and temporality is required to answer the difficult question of how mindfulness and meditative absorption are possible while the present is non-abiding, and practically, a more comprehensive strategy to deal with the past, future and present is also essential in overcoming the overall suffering of existence.
