Medical Buddhism Innovation: Defilement Elimination With Disease Curing

Abstract

Dr. Jaiphet Klajon's Buddhist Dhamma Medical Science is a new science of medicine that emerged in Thailand. The central idea is "the practice of attaining the state of supreme enjoyment, which is Nirodha, Vimutti, and Nibbana, respectively." There is a clear and comprehensive explanation of the illness process from a holistic perspective in the relativity of abstract and physical science. The 9 Principles of Buddhahood, or 9 tablets of medicine, are a practice. Dr. Jaiphet Klajon's slogans for Buddhist Dhamma Medical Science include “the elimination of defilements is the curing of diseases”, “becoming one's own doctor” and “zero-baht treatment facilities.” The Buddhist Dhamma Medical Training camp incorporates the defilement elimination practices into the 9 tablets of medicine and all camp activities in a harmonic manner. The result of practice is that every disease can be treated, both infectious and chronic non-infectious diseases, such as: Cancer, Chronic renal failure, SLE, Sclerosis, Psoriasis, Chronic hepatitis, Cirrhosis, Hyperthyroid, Osteoporosis, Diabetes, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, Coronary artery disease, Cerebrovascular disease, Gout, Rheumatoid arthritis, Chronic allergies, Tonsillitis, Tuberculosis, Shingles, Erysipelas, Diabetic foot ulcers, Typhoid fever, Chikungunya fever, Covid-19, etc. The outcome is dependent on the sick person's ability to practice. In addition, the quality of life is improved in every dimension, such as: physical, mind, society, intellect, economy, overall quality of life, self-reliance, and assisting people to overcome suffering (Buddhahood property). There is an important landmark that “the capture of a single point can destroy the whole line of suffering”. That single point is “the cessation of defilement”.
