Abstract

Objectives Purpose At the heart of adult learning is experience. It is emphasized that reflection in the experience of adult learners is always and inseparably accompanied. From this point of view, this study aims to explore the lifelong educational value of the reflection experience of Won-Buddhist practitioners.
 Methods To this end, from March to December 2019, participatory observation, Reflection diary analysis, and in-depth interviews were conducted with four people who practice mind study and keep a mind diary (reflection journal) among Won Buddhist mind Practice practitioners. The data was analyzed with focus.
 Results The introspective experience of Won-Buddhist practitioners in the mind study leads to a non-aware reflection experience in daily life, and has the value of learning through the momentary reflection experience encountered during the mind study practice. In addition, through the reflection experience of endless awareness, one can recover wholeness and solve various problems in daily life. Lastly, practitioners turn a life of resentment into a life of gratitude in their daily lives, take it as a learning material to find out the workings of my mind, and experience endless repetition of reflection to constantly learn and reflect.
 Conclusions In this study, it is believed that the reflection experience of mind study practitioners is similar to lifelong learning, and what they frequently encounter in daily life will help adult learners to introspect.
