Abstract
Buddhism, with its humanistic perspective and deep understanding of the human mind, provides a timeless framework that is consistent with contemporary psychological theories. This article examines how Buddhist philosophy and psychology emphasize compassion, mindfulness, and the comprehension of suffering. Here, several tactics and practices from Buddhist teachings are quoted and addressed in terms of treatment and prevention. Some significant principles in Buddhism pertinent to these topics are also discussed in detail, along with scriptural references. The synthesis provides a compendious view of mindfulness in Buddhist philosophy for clinicians & researchers. It explores the potential for further dialogue between clinical psychology and Buddhism to improve mindfulness practice. The author proposes modest yet potentially profound implications for how we think about the healing process by investigating the influences of various Buddhist practices on clinical practice.
