Facing stress, depression, fear or other health challenges can be very perplexing and often overwhelming. The Buddha himself was moved by suffering: birth, old age, sickness and death and mental suffering. His resolve was to give us a way to overcome suffering. He became our Master Physician. It isn’t a coincidence that the Four Noble Truths correspond exactly to the four fold formula of ancient medicine practised in India. The four fold formula was: disease, diagnosis, cure and treatment.
Buddhism addresses our life holistically. The Medicine Buddha (Yao Shi Fo) highlights not only spiritual health but also our physical and mental well-being. In any illness it is important to treat the causes. It is not sufficient just to treat the symptoms. Treatment is aimed at applying new causes and conditions which promote wellness and enlightenment .
Chinese Buddhism is interwoven with traditional Chinese philosophy and medicine. Malcolm Hunt, Director of the T’ai Shen Centre and Mental Health Educator after learning from Chinese Buddhist monks systematized five basic interrelated crucial areas of our life to develop the Five Prescriptions.
The Five prescriptions are essential life elements from Buddhism and Chinese Medicine which when applied in harmony give remarkable excellent results.
Malcolm gives much of his time in training and healing in the Five Prescriptions within Australia and Internationally. For more information you are welcome to Contact us at admin@taishendo.com
