Abstract

Due to the development and industrialization of scientific civilization, the physical training is confronting with a mental crisis producing robot and man-made athlete losing the original object. The physical training is worthless when it is not balanced with the mentality and thus cannot be developed into the valuable physical training. Therefore, the present study makes a comparative study of Zen Buddhism which tries to search for realization through the physical activity, with the essence of the physical training. Further, the present study approaches as to what value the physical training suggests, how Zen is made use of in the physical training and sports. On this basis, the present study is going to maximize the human education and an ability of human being having balance of body and soul by actualizing potential nature and ability of life existing in the inside of human being through the physical activity, and thus make a contribution to improve the sports performance. 1. with respect to the relation of Zen with the physical training - essential aspect Zen tries to search for realization through the physical activity, and the physical training is an education for human being through the physical activity. From this Zen and the physical training have a common in respect of a method to reach an object through the physical activity without depending on the Buddhist scripture or theory. However, there are differences to achieve an object. Therefore, if we make use of Zen which stands for the fact there is no absolute mental freedo unless we overcome the body in the physical training which is gradually lacking mentality in the our era. as the origin of the oriental physical training tried to reach a state of realization by unifying body and soul and embodying the mental freedom through the physical activity, then we can be provided with not only physical development but also building the concept of the physical training and the value in the field of the physical training. 2. making use of Zen in the physical training - mental concentration for the reinforcement of the mental strength Mental concentration is critical and essential factor in sports. Mental strength can be a decisive cause to victory or defeat, not to mention of the improvement of the sports performance.

Therefore, if we make use of a method deleting distracted mind and a method entering into mental concentration and its attitude to concentrate mind which Zen states, we can achieve the real improvement of the sports performance from forming the high level of mental concentration. - physical exercise and an inspiration Long period of discipline of Zen will assist us in cultivating such intuitive ability, that is, an inspiration as perceptual ability of muscle exercise (which make it possible to know a location of the body, velocity of the exercise, the scope, direction, and a distinction of the entire body) that is asserted by G.M. Scott. - physical exercise and breathing A breathing method in Zen raises a maximum intake of oxygen and suggests a therapy for disease and a method of mental concentration, not to mention of the functional improvement of the lungs. Therefore, it is considered to be indefinitely worth making use of it in the field of sports. Therefore, the present thesis suggests the indefinite possibility to make use of Zen in the physical training. Subsequently, we consider that a scientific and systematic study about Zen is required in order to apply Zen in th
