Cure disease of the mind

By Admin at 8:23 PM    


Doctors prescribe medicine to eliminate disease from the body. The
Teachings of the Buddha are prescribed to cure disease of the mind, to
bring it back to its natural healthy state. So the Buddha can be
considered to be a doctor who prescribes cures for the ills of the mind.
He is, in fact, the greatest doctor in the world.
- Venerable Ajahn Chah
