This thesis contains about treatment of Zen Sickness(禪病) based on 『Mahajigwan(摩訶止觀))』, 『Suseupjigwanjwaseonbubyo(修習止觀坐 禪 法要))』, 『Seonmunkugyeol(禪門口訣))』written by the Master Cheontae (天台大師). In the process of meditation practice(禪修行), Some people are happy about enlightenment(見性), other people are sick by bad methods of meditation practice. Like this, We call the sickness with relation to meditation practice. There are two definitions about the zen sickness. One is about mental and physical disturbances when people try to reach dhyāna(禪定), another is about sickness of body and mind caused by problem of postures and mental attitudes in meditation practice. This study tries to deal with the latter. 『Mahajigwan(摩訶止觀))』uses treatments like samatha(止), prāna(氣), breathing(息), imagination(假想), Vipassanā(觀心), magic(方術) for the treatment of zen sickness. 『Suseupjigwanjwaseonbubyo(修習止觀坐禪法 要))』, 『Seonmunkugyeol(禪門口訣)』also have similar kinds of treatments. The Treatment Of Zen Sickness is a buddhistic useful method not only for zen sickness, but also for sickness caused by all kinds of stress in a modern society.
