Buddhism and Humanistic Care

Khenpo emphasizes that medical personnel should possess compassion and medical ethics, internalizing morality in their hearts rather than merely adhering to institutional regulations. He points out that true happiness stems from inner contentment rather than material wealth, citing research to demonstrate the importance of contentment and joy. Khenpo considers the medical profession to be the most praised occupation by the Buddha, advocating that practitioners should serve patients with an altruistic heart while treating both body and mind simultaneously, thereby embodying the values of Buddhist humanistic care.
