Full description

In the present article I study passages from the early discourses preserved in the Nikayas and Agamas related to healing and bearing up in the face of pain. These show that the potential of psychological means of healing, in particular through mental qualities like mindfulness, were already recognized in ancient times, instead of being a purely modern phenomenon.
