[A Buddhist view of health and care]

Abstract

Buddhism has an original anthropology without dolorism or sacrifice, based on which a care ethic is deployed. The Buddhist way leads to freeing the spirit of the illusions that lead it astray and considers the body as a precious material support for the spirit. Pain and illness are treated while paying great attention to the person's suffering, whether conscious or not.

Keywords: Buddhism; body; bouddhisme; care; corps; ethics; impermanence; karma; soin; souffrance; suffering; éthique.
