For Health with a Human Face - The Sacred Art of Care for Future Generations

Used book in very good condition

The sacred art of care for generations to come

This book is the fruit of a dual experience. The author is both a homeopathic doctor in a hospital setting and a Buddhist practitioner. A unique journey that is not without meaning, since Buddhism and medicine lead us to question a common problem, that of suffering. Moreover, Buddha has also been called "the Great Physician". The main message of this book is that it is essential that medicine combines both solid know-how and profound human qualities. Spirituality must be integrated into the very heart of care and medicine, in addition to its clinical and scientific approach, must also be based on the art of listening. Faced with a doctor or therapist experienced in the contemplative approach and the opening of the heart, the relationship with the patient becomes deeper, more subtle, and the words more adapted, more adjusted to the experience of the suffering person. Which is infinitely precious in the art of clinical diagnosis and in that of care. This listening, filled with kindness, can thus have very beneficial consequences, both psychologically and physically. By reading this book, interspersed with testimonies, anecdotes and numerous references, the whole question of the human condition opens up to us. With great sincerity, the author delivers his experience of the intimate, of pain and suffering, with the permanent evocation of the Beauty of the World, reflected in the magnificent paintings that accompany the text.
