Faculty of Buddhist Studies of NIIBS was established in 2020 with the sole intention of posturing the major Classical Traditions of Buddhism - Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana worldwide.
Today psychogenic disorders have developed rapidly in the society. Long term mental stress, oppressive memories and unsolved mental problems will be greatly conducive to develop these disorders. The main cause for these disorders are negligence, phobia and fear, failures, disappointment, cheating and abuses. Symptoms such as insomnia, intense anger, poor appetite, restlessness, less productivity, intense forgetfulness can be seen in these patients. There is ample evidence found in our BACP clinics that some of these symptoms can be seen in some people together with burning sensation, incurable headache, numbness in hands and legs, semiconsciousness, abnormal behavioural patterns all of which are caused by psychogenic reasons. These patients have taken sedatives, anti-depressive drugs and pain-killers for a long time. Although symptoms have been subdued, many patients come to our clinic complaining that these symptoms reappear causing their daily work being disrupted. It was also revealed that as a result of side effects of these medicine have caused intense physical weakness, inability to wake up early in the morning. This state has affected and disturbed their education and employment badly.
In order to remove the root cause of the disease, BAC, Buddhist Psychotherapy and Behavioural Therapy with medicine are applied. The main purpose of this is to see whether productivity and mental happiness could be developed and doses of medicine could be reduced or completely omitted. Another specific purpose is to propagate and disseminate the method of treatment sans side-effects. Another specific purpose is to provide case study reports to our post graduate students and professionals, thereby to develop their counselling skills.
