Sad that medical students were not equiped with enough thinking skills to oppose the monk's outrageous theories.<br />While i am quite a proponent of much thinking and philosopical dialogue, I agree very much with your suggestion to focus on values that bring us peace of mindHans Van Rostenberghehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04313486249043305156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677947565685248913.post-49746231385409560412017-12-01T22:03:38.279+08:002017-12-01T22:03:38.279+08:00Interesting.

They were told that patients are sick due to their own karma / nature's will.<br /><br />It was said that it's good for the patients to bear the sufferings, as bearing these unfortunate experience is like clearing up their debts (karma). and it's a blessing because it's a path to eternal peace.<br /><br />And doctors who treat patients are considered disturbing nature's will / disallowing patients to "clear up" / "repay" their karma. Therefore it's not a good deed.<br /><br />They perform prayers & meditations, hoping that patients (and themselves) focus towards acceptance of those suffering.<br /><br />We knew the ideology was too extreme, unfortunately a few of them really gave up medicine and quit from medical schools (somehow it was denied by the school).<br /><br />https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2012/10/06/brainwashed-into-quitting/<br /><br />Perhaps thinking too much is not a good idea.<br />Lets just focus on the present and on the values which bring us peace of mind, ie love, peace & harmony, regardless of any reason.<br /><br />:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
