illness
i came across this text [1]:
Be certain that all that appears is naturally manifest [in the mind],
Like the images in a mirror which [also] appear naturally.
[…]
There are no phenomena extraneous to those that originate from the mind.
so i asked myself: if a person has an illness, let’s say a tumor, is that caused by that person’s mind?
how does buddhism explain illness?
:: what is illness ::
our experience of the world, of the body, of the illness, are inseparable from the mental processes through which we perceive and interpret them.
