人間佛教對人心的關懷 ── 佛教與中醫調心方法之比較研究=Taking Care of Human’s “Minds” of the Humanistic Buddhism: A Comparative Study on the Mind-Modification Methods of Buddhism and Traditional Chinese Medicine
The present study aims to: (1) explore and compare the mind-modification methods in Buddhism and Traditional Chinese Medicine; (2) discuss the ideas and mind-modification methods of Master Hsing Yun. By means of literature analysis, the paper compares the literature in Buddhism and Traditional Chinese Medicine for their mind-modification methods. In light of methodological comparisons, it was found that: (1) Whereas Traditional Chinese Medicine is therapeutic, Buddhism offers solutions to inflictions. (2) Whereas Traditional Chinese Medicine relies on outside forces for cure, Buddhism relies mainly on self-regulated mind modification. The practice of the Humanistic Buddhism has to be in the society to care human’s “mind.” Buddhism and the Traditional Chinese Medicine can be mutually facilitative, and the integration of the two could possibly be more effective in dealing with emotional vexations.
