Health and Well-being
The following is the second of three talks entitled “Health and Wellbeing” given by Traleg Rinpoche at the 2011 Summer School held at the Maitripa Contemplative Centre, Healesville.
In the first talk, the fundamental thing that we discussed was the interrelationship
between the mind and body; how you cannot separate the mind from the
body. We often adopt this dualistic attitude, saying either that all illnesses issue from physical ailments or that it’s mental. But we don’t actually think about the fact that mind and body may be so intimately related that the body does impact on the mind, as much as the mind impacts on the body. I also said we as Buddhists think that mind has a much more important part to play in that regard.
