| Abstract | A number of Buddhist psychological insights found in the Abhidhamma and other Buddhist texts have been used in the areas of mental health, HIV, homelessness, substance abuse and youths at risk. The Tibetan Book of the Dead and the practice of the teachings in other Buddhist texts are, also very important in Hospice care. When working with the consumer on a one on one basis, we can work with the whole person, Body, Speech, and Mind. This approach is educational and the pedagogy is derived from Buddhist teachings. We can help guide the client towards self-empowerment through mindfulness and metta meditation, some sitting, and walking practice (we never do deep meditation practice with mentally ill clients). These techniques can help build self-esteem, and can be applied to ones daily life to help improve ones mental health and happiness. Self-help programs also play a major role in the process that helps the client return to living in the community. |
