| Abstract | This study aims to elucidate the Buddhist principles guiding a healthy lifestyle amidst the prevalence of information technology in contemporary society. The examination of issues related to unhealthy habits in this technological era highlights the potential physical and mental ramifications of unmanaged technology usage on individuals' posture maintenance during activities such as sitting, working, standing, and lying down, as well as the loss of mindfulness in daily routines. In accordance with the teachings found in Buddhist scriptures on healthy living, individuals are advised to adhere to four essential components for fostering a healthy lifestyle: the development of positive karma, the cultivation of mental acuity through mindfulness practices aimed at achieving mental purity, the creation of a conducive environment for well-being, and the consumption of nutritious foods to nourish the body and sustain vitality. Furthermore, spiritual enlightenment, as outlined by the seven factors of enlightenment, plays a pivotal role in promoting healthy living. Ultimately, embracing the Buddhist approach to healthy living is imperative for addressing both physical and mental health challenges among individuals dedicated to following these principles. In the context of the information age, individuals are encouraged to adopt three key strategies: 1) Engaging in Buddhist practices that enhance physical well-being through appropriate physical exercises and mindful consumption of nutritious foods; 2) Prioritizing mental health by employing techniques to alleviate distracting thoughts, fostering positive emotions, and combating mental illness; 3) Striving for holistic body-mind harmony through profound Buddhist practices that promote overall well-being, including maintaining purity in body, speech, and mind, as well as engaging in acts of generosity (offering-dāna), upholding moral principles (five precepts), and practicing meditation (bhāvanā) to foster a healthy lifestyle. |
