그래도 가끔

저 : 법현 
 서울시 은평구 갈현동 역촌중앙시장의 ‘저잣거리 스님’으로 더 유명한 법현 스님은, 카카오톡, 카카오스토리, 밴드, 페이스북 등 SNS 공간도 중요한 도량이요 법당이라는 생각으로 카친, 스친, 밴친, 페친들과 활발하게 소통하고 있다. 시민사회와 종교, 불교의 울타리를 벗어난 어울림 또한 중요한 수행이요, 전법이라는 생각을 가지고 각계각층의 사람들을 다양하게 만나며 호흡하고 있다. 한국불교태고종 부원장과 불교종단협의회 상임이사, 종교인평화회의 종교간 대화위원장을 역임하고, 성공회대에서 스님과 함께하는 채플 강의를 했으며, 가톨릭동북아평화연구소 초빙연구원으로 활동하고 있다. 선(禪)과 농사(農事)와 봉사와 섬김과 헌신이 진정한 불교의 사회적 실천운동이라는 생각에 이웃종교들과도 교류를 자주 가지며, 때로는 승려가 아니라 농사꾼이 되기도 하고, 촛불혁명 때는 촛불이 되어 함께 나섰다. 시장 중에서도 가장 열악한 저잣거리 시장인 역촌중앙시장 2층에 <열린선원>이라는 포교원을 열고, 시장 사람들의 친근한 벗이 되기도 하고 농사를 짓는 등 선농(禪農) 일체의 길을 가고 있다. 이번에 엮은 책은 그동안 카친, 스친, 밴친, 페친들과 소통한 글을 한데 모은 것이다.
