앉는 채 잡념을 떠나 무아 (無我)의 경지에 들어감. 공자 (孔子)님의 수제자인 안회( 顔回)가 공자님을 놀라게 한 일화
‘손발이나 몸이라는 것을 잊고 / 귀나 눈의 작용을 물리쳐서 / 형체를 떠나 지식을 버리고 / 저 위대한 도 (道)와 하나가 되는 것, / 이것을 좌망이라 합니다.’ ('장자 莊子' 第六章 大宗師)

Sitting in oblivion: It literally means "sit and forget the self," a term synonymous with samadhi, which comes from the dialogue between Yenhui, the favorite disciple of Confucius, and his Master:
It is to free oneself from the bodily form / And to disregard hearing and seeing. / Through the transcendence of the bodily form / And the elimination of sensations / One identifies oneself with the Infinite. / This is what I mean by forgetting myself while sitting." (Chunag Tzu Book, Ch. VI, the Great Patriarch)
