Fundamentals of Buddhist Psychotherapy(2)

Key Noting Point(2)

composed by Ven.Punnavamsa

I am going to teach the fundamentals of Buddhist psychotherapy.အခု ဗုဒဘာသာစိတ္ကုထံုးနဲ႔ ပတ္သက္တဲ့ အေျခခံအခ်က္အလက္ေတြကို သင္ေပးပါ့မယ္။

The term psychotherapy means derived from psychiatry.

Psychotherapy ဆိုတဲ့ေ၀ါဟာရဟာ psychiatryဆိုတဲ့ေ၀ါဟာရကေန ဆင္းသက္တယ္လို႔ ဆိုလိုတာပါ။( စာေရးသူဆိုရင္ေတာ့ ဒီ၀ါက်က မွားတယ္လို႔ ထင္ပါတယ္။ ၾကိယာႏွစ္လံုးထပ္ေနပါတယ္။ means ကို ျဖဳတ္ပစ္လုိက္ရင္ အဆင္ေျပမယ္။)

psychiatry=စိတ္ေရာဂါပညာရပ္နွင့္ကုထံုး

This is the branch of medical term coming from mental disorders and abnormal behavior. ဒါဟာ မူမမွန္တဲ့အျပဳအမူနဲ႔ စိတ္ဖရိုဖရဲျဖစ္မႈကေန ဆင္းသက္

လာေသာ ေဆးပညာရပ္ေ၀ါဟာရတစ္ခုပဲ့ ျဖစ္ပါတယ္။

According to Buddhism, we used to the component parts and we divided into Nama and Rupa to compare psychiatry as to somatictherapy and psychotherapy. ဗုဒဘာသာအလိုအရဆိုရင္ေတာ့ စိတ္ကုထံုးႏွင့္ပတ္သက္လို႔ ႏႈိုင္းယွဥ္ေလ့လာဖို႔ နာမ္နဲ႔ရုပ္ဆိုျပီးေတာ့ အပိုင္းႏွစ္ပိုင္းခြဲေျပာပါတယ္။

You can use another state of somatic-therapy and medical-therapy according to psychiatry. psychiatry အရ  somatic-therapy နဲ႔ medical-therapyဆိုျပီးေတာ့လည္း သံုးနိုင္ပါေသးတယ္။

They concern mental disorders without cause by the two grounds.အဲဒါေတြ

က အေၾကာင္းျပခ်က္နွစ္မ်ိဳးမရွိဘဲ စိတ္ဖရိုဖရဲျဖစ္မႈမ်ားႏွင့္ သက္ဆိုင္ပါတယ္။

The first one is physical aspect due to physical reason. ပထမတစ္ခုကေတာ့ ရုပ္ပိုင္းဆိုင္ရာအေၾကာင္းျပခ်က္ေၾကာင့္ ရုပ္ပိုင္းဆိုင္ရာရႈေထာင့္ျဖစ္ေပၚလာ မႈျဖစ္တယ္။

The second explains mental disorders due to psychological aspects. ဒုတိယတစ္ခုကေတာ့ စိတ္ပိုင္းဆိုင္ရာ အျမင္ေၾကာင့္  စိတ္ဖရိုဖရဲျဖစ္မႈပါပဲ့။

Hence, Buddhist psychotherapy becomes using psychiatry.ဒါေၾကာင့္ ဗုဒဘာသာစိတ္ကုထံုး psychiatryကို အသံုးျပဳရတာပါ။

According to Ayuveda, when you go to early Buddhist theory, we see Buddhist psychotherapy. အာယုေ၀ဒအရကေတာ့ အေစာပိုင္း ဗုဒဘာသာအေတြးအေခၚေတြကို ေလ့လာၾကည့္မယ္ဆိုရင္ ဗုဒနည္းက်စိတ္ကုထံုးကို ေတြ႔ရွိရမွာပါ။

In these aspects, the lord Buddha had preached mental disorder, psychological ground also somatic-therapy is clear here.ဒီအျမင္ေတြထဲမွာ စိတ္ပညာဆိုင္ရာနဲ႔စပ္လို႔ ျမတ္စြာဘုရားရဲ႕ေဟာၾကားခ်က္ ရွင္းလင္းျပတ္သားပါတယ္။

Otherwise, these are related to another western psychotherapy.ဒါ့အျပင္ ဘုရားနည္းဟာ အေနာက္တိုင္းစိတ္ကုထံုးနည္းေတြနဲ႔လည္း ဆက္စပ္ပတ္သက္ေနပါတယ္။

psychotherapy means subject area of the discipline concerning with mental disorder due to the psychological factor.  psychotherapyဆိုတာ စိတ္ပညာဆိုင္ရာ အခ်က္အလက္ေတြေၾကာင့္ စိတ္ဖရိုဖရဲျဖစ္မႈနဲ႔ သက္ဆိုင္တဲ့ စည္းမ်ဥ္းစည္းကမ္းေတြကို ေလ့လာတဲ့နယ္ပယ္တစ္ခုပါ။

These are psychological discipline of the subject area concerning with mental disorders and abnormal behaviors than somatic-therapy edited subject area of psychiatry with concerned thoroughly mental and abnormal behaviors caused by physical reason.

Therefore, these are somtic-therapy and medical-therapy in there.

They are concerned treatment and psychosurgery.

According to Buddhism, all mental disorders are divided into three. These are Buddhist definition related to Lobha, Dosa and Moha.ဗုဒဘာသာအလိုအရဆိုရင္ေတာ့ စိတ္ဖရုိဖရဲျဖစ္မႈကို သုံးမ်ိဳးသံုးစားခြဲျခားထားပါ

တယ္။ ဒါေတြကေတာ့ ေလာဘ၊ေဒါသ၊ေမာဟနဲ႔စပ္တဲ့ဖြင့္ဆိုခ်က္မ်ားပဲ့ ျဖစ္ပါတယ္။

Desire, what you are going to Buddhist canonical explanation, this is the intrinsically motivation.

It is not having desire but it has some layers of philosophical and ethical aspect can do the term of desire.

Otherwise, Ven.Buddhaghosa started Visuddhimagga converning with the statement where Lord Buddha defined in this way Ditthadhamme hi ca sampare hi ca Paramatthe hi ca yatharaham anusaretiti saddha. 

  Dittha dhamme hi ca means given the advice development of this world.

Sampare hi ca means given the development of after world. Paramatthe hi ca means given to see the path of Nibbana.

  Likewise, we have two approaching in Buddhism. There is behavioral approaching and cognitive. If you want to  go to Majjhima Nikaya, you see the Sabbasava Sutra. Sabbasave means all kinds of cankers. The way to eradicate all cankers, desire and this is the way to realization of Nibbaba. Otherwise, Sila means good conduct also Samadhi and Panna. If you can't give cognitive development, you can't have insight meditation but to come tho Samatha and Vipassana advised Sila. And Samatha Vipassana means cognitive modification also Bhavana is here very importance. But we see many ways to get rid of mental disorders and abnormal behaviors are psychiatry and such Sutra.

For example, Theragatha Pali is suggested that five kinds of bases to get rid of some abnormal behaviors and mental problems. You should see but don't take punishment as Assada, Adinave and Nissarana.

Assara means satisfy and Adinava why you are satisfy, you should see the bad result after association all than Nissarana you put into all and you can be behavior as a drop of water on lotus.

  I conclusion, in the commentary there are five approaching Tadangapahana, Vikhambhanapahana,Patipassatipahana, Nissaranapahana and Samucchedapahana we are going to be controlling all these things as much as we can and so forth. On the other hand, Vitakkasamthana in Mijjhima Nikaya, Ayuveda, it is a source and it is coming up mental disorders and abnormal behaviors in Dabbasava, Theragatha, and in the vitakkasamthana,etc. Therefore, these are called fundamentals of Buddhist psychotherapy.
