當今社會中身心問題之省思與療癒 : 取徑人間佛教的生命教育=Self-examination and Healing of Psychosomatic Issues in Contemporary Society: In Reference to Life Education of Humanistic Buddhism
In contemporary society there often are all kinds of complaints about work stress, financial difficulties, emotional dissonance, hardships in life, and so on. These complaints are reflections of people living in adversity and without peace, even falling into situations involuntarily. Faced with these psychosomatic issues, how could one introspect on healing? Such are important questions of life and welfare. Venerable Master Hsing Yun once said, “Only with the nectar of compassion and wisdom, can all the dust be washed away, and the purification of our minds be accomplished!” If everyone’s body and mind are in peace and stability, then they will be able to settle in life. Furthermore, this will bring about harmony, joy, and stability in society. This paper makes reference to the life education contained in Humanistic Buddhism by analyzing how Humanistic Buddhism propagates the Buddha’s instructions on practicing both compassion and wisdom. It presents how people’s perplexities can be resolved, or even bring about peace and stability in society. In other words, for those living in such a fast-paced society, how can Humanistic Buddhism effectively help one’s body and mind? Therefore, through this process, life education is developed. When faced with psychosomatic issues in contemporary society, these could be considered for introspection and ways of healing.
