Buddhism and Medicine

Gautama Buddha, the historical Buddha, stated the doctrine more than 2,500 years ago. Since then, it has become the salvation for people seeking liberation from sickness and death. It is a doctrine without discrimination of caste, race or wealth. It respects equality between human beings and animals and solves everyday life difficulties. With time, it has become a religion and system that protects millions of people from suffering.


Buddha taught dharma to his disciples on this earth for 46 years.
His first wheel of dharma is the universal ‘Four Noble Truths‘:

“Suffering is existing
Because it has cause,
Cessation is there
Because it has paths (cause)”

This is a true science and real evolution for humans and sentient beings. It is indeed pointed out in the medicine as Buddha said:

“Disease is existing
Because it has cause,
Free from the suffering is there
Because it has methods (cause)”
