Buddhist psychology and self-development for growth

Abstract

Buddhism is considered as a cognitive psychology that aimed to enhance
the right balance of living for mankind. It uses as a therapeutic methodology following
what our lord Buddha has discovered. This cognitive psychology emphasizes on the
fundamental facts of life that happens to all living creatures including birth, aging,
sickening, and death. Realizing that those facts of life are very uncertain so ones
should live life with equanimity. Dukkha is an important Buddhist concept, commonly
translated as suffering, pain, unsatisfactoriness or stress. It refers to the fundamental
unsatisfactoriness and painfulness of mundane life. If only all human living can fix
their own pain right from the cause, they can reduce the pain gradually. Painfulness
is the first of the Four Noble Truths in Buddhism. If human being can learn and adapt
their way of life by integrating both Buddhism principles with psychology so called
“Buddhist Psychology”. The final goal is to for all humans to be able to develop
themselves (self-development) in order to live with prosperity and comply well with
the social norm.
