Buddhism and psychologyBuddhism includes an analysis of human psychology, emotion, cognition, behavior and motivation along with therapeutic practices. Buddhist psychology is embedded within the greater Buddhist ethical and philosophical system, and its psychological terminology is colored by ethical overtones. Buddhist psychology has two therapeutic goals: the healthy and virtuous life of a householder (samacariya, "harmonious living") and the ultimate goal of nirvana, the total cessation of dissatisfaction and suffering (dukkha).
NīvaraṇaNīvaraṇa est un terme pali qui désigne cinq empêchements ou obstacles qui entravent l'état mental d'un méditant bouddhiste. le désir sensoriel (kāmacchanda) la colère ou malveillance (vyāpāda) la torpeur (thīna-middha) l'agitation (uddhacca-kukkucca) le doute (vicikicchā) Dans l'Anguttara Nikaya (V, 193), le désir sensoriel est comparé à de l'eau mélangée à plusieurs couleurs ; la malveillance, à de l'eau bouillante ; la torpeur à de l'eau couverte de mousses ; l'agitation à de l'eau agitée par le vent ; le doute sceptique, à de l'eau trouble et bourbeuse.
SaccaSacca (सत्य) is a Pali word meaning "real" or "true". In early Buddhist literature, sacca is often found in the context of the "Four Noble Truths", a crystallization of Buddhist wisdom. In addition, sacca is one of the ten pāramīs or "most high" a bodhisatta must develop in order to become a Buddha. In the Pali Canon, sacca is frequently found in the term ariya-sacca, meaning "noble truth" or "truth of the noble ones".
Mindful YogaMindful Yoga or Mindfulness Yoga combines Buddhist-style mindfulness practice with yoga as exercise to provide a means of exercise that is also meditative and useful for reducing stress. Buddhism and Hinduism have since ancient times shared many aspects of philosophy and practice including mindfulness, understanding the suffering caused by an erroneous view of reality, and using concentrated and meditative states to address such suffering. The use of a hybrid of yoga and mindfulness for stress was pioneered by Jon Kabat-Zinn in America in 1990.
Full Catastrophe LivingFull Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness is a book by Jon Kabat-Zinn, first published in 1990, revised in 2013, which describes the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program developed at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center's Stress Reduction Clinic. In addition to describing the content and background of MBSR, Kabat-Zinn describes scientific research showing the medical benefits of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), and lays out an approach to mind-body medicine emphasizing the depth of the interconnections between physical and mental health.
Régulation émotionnelleLa régulation émotionnelle (ou contrôle émotionnel) est la capacité à agir sur ses propres émotions. C'est un processus psychologique complexe qui recouvre à la fois la capacité à déclencher, inhiber, maintenir ou moduler ses propres affects au sens large, ce qui inclut : les sentiments subjectifs liés aux émotions ; certains processus cognitifs (par exemple, un souvenir post-traumatique) ; certains processus physiologiques (par exemple, le rythme cardiaque) et certains comportements (par exemple, le rire).
AppamādaApramāda (Sanskrit; Pali: appamāda; Tibetan Wylie: bag yod pa) is a Buddhist term translated as "conscientious" or "concern". It is defined as taking great care concerning what should be adopted and what should be avoided. In the Pāli Canon, a collection of the Buddha's earliest teachings, the term appamāda is quite significant and the essence of the meaning cannot be captured with one English word. "Heedfulness", "diligence", and "conscientiousness", are all words that capture some aspects of appamāda.
Rumination (psychologie)Dans les domaines de la psychologie et de la psychiatrie, la notion et l'expression de « rumination mentale » désignent la tendance de certains individus à se concentrer sur des informations négatives (douleur, symptômes dépressifs, échec...). C'est une "pensée involontaire" et répétitive, qui serait une tentative, mise en échec, de réponse à une détresse psychologique, à une douleur morale. Elle se traduit par une lamentation répétitive focalisée sur les symptômes de la détresse et/ou sur ses causes et conséquences possibles ou supposées.
Buddhism and scienceThe relationship between Buddhism and science is a subject of contemporary discussion and debate among Buddhists, scientists and scholars of Buddhism. Historically, Buddhism encompasses many types of beliefs, traditions and practices, so it is difficult to assert any single "Buddhism" in relation to science. Similarly, the issue of what "science" refers to remains a subject of debate, and there is no single view on this issue.
