Buddhism and the Art of Medicine. Sickness is one of the four sufferings of life that, according to Buddhism, are common to all human beings. Humans have always been afraid of it, as it compromises one's ability to live life to the fullest, but Buddhist scriptures state that illnesses stimulate the spirit of seeking the "Way." To teach an attitude that allows one to challenge illnesses based on faith, as well as medical knowledge, in this volume, Daisaku Ikeda discusses with experts in the field the prevention and treatment of the main diseases afflicting humans of our time.
"Health is not merely the absence of disease. Being healthy implies a constant challenge and constant creativity. A fruitful life, a truly healthy life, is constantly progressing, opening up ever new horizons. An indomitable spirit gives the power to keep moving forward."
Daisaku Ikeda
