Inside the World of Buddhist Medicine
Inside the World of Buddhist Medicine
The Buddha has often been described as a great healer or physician. Diagnosing the ailment of dukkha
(suffering), he offered the eightfold path as his prescription for
healing the disease of suffering that is caused by the workings of the
mind.
But what about the body? What does the dharma have to say about the suffering of illness? What can Buddhist knowledge teach us about physical healing?
Buddhist traditions have sought to address physical illness for centuries, and Buddhist ideas have shaped a robust body of healing knowledge that is practiced around the world to this day.
Dr. Pierce Salguero, Buddhism scholar, historian of medicine, and author of A Global History of Buddhism and Medicine, joins us on October 10 for a virtual conversation on the fascinating world of Buddhist medicine. In this hour-long Zoom event—free for Tricycle Premium subscribers—he’ll discuss how Buddhist medical practices and Buddhist healers have influenced health care globally (including mental health care and Western medical approaches).
Sign up today to join us on October 10 at 4 p.m. ET, and bring your questions!

Via White Crane Institute // Lakenheath
2008 -
Construction of the Royal Airforce Base at Lakenheath was held up in 2008 when relics of this base’s ancient inhabitants were unearthed during a routine construction project. The base must work with British archaeology officials for every base construction because of the area’s dense concentration of buried artifacts.
Before the Air Force set up shop at Lakenheath more than 60 years ago, it was home to the Anglo-Saxons — ancient peoples who inhabited the south and east of the country from the early fifth century through the Norman conquest of 1066.
Toiling alongside a construction crew that rebuilt the traffic circle on the northside of the base in August, a team of British archaeologists dug up three Anglo-Saxon graves dating to between 450 and 650.
They found two unusually large bodies dating from before the Norman Invasion of 1066 that appeared at first glance to be a husband and wife. The bodies were buried embracing each other, but genetic testing revealed both were men. It remains unknown if they were lovers, relatives, warrior companions, or just good friends…but I think we know.

Via Daily Dharma: Love Comes from Attention
Attention
is the start of love. There can be no love without attention. In
cultivating attention, we’re cultivating a possibility for intention and
a possibility for connection.
