Buddhism and the art of medicine. Illness is one of the four sufferings of life that, according to Buddhism, unite all human beings. Man has always been afraid of it, as it impairs the ability to live life to the fullest, but Buddhist scriptures state that illnesses stimulate the spirit of seeking the "Way." In order to teach an attitude to challenge diseases on the basis of faith as well as medical knowledge, in this volume Daisaku Ikeda discusses with some experts in the field the prevention and treatment of major diseases that afflict human beings of our time.
"Health is not a simple absence of disease. Being healthy involves constant challenge and constant creativity. A fruitful life, a truly healthy life is constantly moving forward, always opening up new scenarios. An indomitable spirit gives the power to keep moving forward."
Daisaku Ikeda
