About the Book
Buddhist Approach to Education, Psychology, and Guidance is a collective endeavour that brings. together scholars, educators, psychologists, and practitioners to explore the contemporary relevance of Buddhist Prajñ. In a world plagued by stress and mental health crises, this book highlights how Buddhist principles, such as mindfulness, compassion, and self-awareness, offer holistic pathways for personal and societal transformation. Organised around key themes, the volume examines Buddhist foundations of education as ethical cultivation and inner awakening, the psychological depth of Abhidhamma and the Four Noble Truths in addressing suffering. and the communal dimension of guidance through Kalya-Mitta and mentorship. Contributors provide diverse perspectives, from integrating mindfulness in classrooms to applying Buddhist psychology in healthcare, and from rethinking discipline in light of Dhammapada teachings to aligning Buddhist ethics with sustainability and peace.
This book does not romanticise tradition or idealise modernity; it proposes a balanced middle path. It invites readers to embody Buddhist insights for education, mental health, and global harmony, making wisdom both practical and transformative. I offer my sincere gratitude to all contributors and readers.
