Features: Over two and a half thousand years ago, Sakyamuni taught the Dharma extensively in the Ganges River Basin (now India). Since then, the Dharma has spread widely across the world with its profound wisdom, broad-mindedness, and inclusive approach. Countless people have been enlightened and liberated from bondage through its teachings. The concept of Buddhist wellness is a relatively recent development. Strictly speaking, in terms of health and well-being, it belongs to the peripheral benefits of Buddhist practice and is not the primary pursuit of Buddhist practitioners. However, the practical content of Buddhist practice has unknowingly granted learners healthy minds and bodies. Why is this the case? Simply put: the core of Buddhist practice—self-discipline (?īla), meditation (samādhi), and wisdom (pa??ā)—can stabilize emotions, regulate behavior, cultivate morality, and unlock wisdom. A comprehensive, practical guide that collects the essence of Buddhist wellness.
