| Abstract | Ven. Master Zhiyi (538-597) is the founder of Tiantai Buddhism in the sixth century. This paper highlights the concept of disease and various treatments of it in Tiantai Buddhism, based mainly on several of Zhiyi’s important treatises on meditation, such as Mohe zhiguan, Tongmeng zhiguan, and Cidi chanmen. Although the perfect treatment method of disease suggested by Zhiyi was to contemplate disease in its reality, he discussed the symptoms and causes of various diseases in detail. Zhiyi interpreted Buddhist notion of disease in both Indian and Chinese medical terminologies in the context of traditional Chinese medicine. In particular, as an introduction of concrete treatment methods, Zhiyi explained different methods derived from Buddhism, Taoism and folk healing techniques; for example, usage of herbal medicine, treatment with six kinds of Qi and with twelve kinds of breathing.
All of these methods and terminologies, in the end formed a system of medical culture that integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Indian Buddhist medicine, and also included Taoist medicine and folk healing.
