Re: How Does Hospitalisation Work Out In Your Country?
Theravada Buddhists are most likely to accept medical advice when it is clearly explained and the options fully explored. Doctors and nurses are generally held in high esteem in Theravada Buddhist cultures because helping others and relieving suffering are important in Theravada Buddhist training.

Re: Why recollection of your Sila (Silanussati) and Dana (Caganussati) is better than observing Sila and Dana?
I have heard many Dhamma talks where the teacher said that when giving one should feel joy in the thought of giving, feel joy in the giving and feel joy in having given.
