ABSTRACT

Buddhist psychology increasingly informs mental healthcare through therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), as well as explicitly Buddhist therapies. The central tenets of Buddhist psychology are explored in the Abhidharma, a collection of psychological works from the traditional canon. The Abhidharma includes detailed expositions of the structure of consciousness; the natures of active cognitive processes and passive states; the relationships between material and mental phenomena, conditionality, and “dependent arising”; and the practice of meditation. These concepts are increasingly relevant owing to the continued emergence of psychotherapeutic practices (e.g., mindfulness) with significant roots in Buddhism.

摘要

佛教心理学越来越多地通过认知行为疗法 (CBT) 和辩证行为疗法 (DBT) 以及明确的佛教疗法等疗法为心理保健提供信息。佛教心理学的核心原则在阿毗达磨中得到了探索，阿毗达磨是传统经典心理学著作的集合。阿毗达磨包括对意识结构的详细阐述；主动认知过程和被动状态的性质；物质和心理现象、缘起和“缘起”之间的关系；和冥想的练习。由于在佛教中有重要根源的心理治疗实践（例如，正念）的不断出现，这些概念越来越相关。
