Down no more. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy at the London Buddhist Centre



One in five people in the UK are expected to suffer from depression at some point in their lives, but the majority will never get any treatment. In order to combat the root causes of depression, the London Buddhist Centre in Bethnal Green has been providing a novel course of treatment known as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). This involves group sessions in which people try to understand and overcome the feelings associated with depression, and work to resolve negative patterns of thinking and behaviour. Preventing a relapse Maitreyabandhu, a member of the London Buddhist Centre and a champion for MBCT, says: "If we are going to stay well we need to work with the tendencies of our mind. We need to find ways of resolving unhelpful habits of thinking and feeling. MBCT is a practical way to help someone not relapse into depression.

ငါတုိ႔ျမန္မာ့ေျမတြင္ မြတ္ဆလင္ေတြလုိ အေဖက သမီး၊ သားက အေမ၊ အစ္ကိုက ညီမ၊ တူက အေဒၚ၊ ေျမးက အဖြားကုိ မုဒိမ္းက်င့္တဲ့ အျဖစ္မ်ဳိးလုံး၀မရွိ။ တရုပ္လုိလည္း ကေလးအရင္းကုိ မိန္းခေလးျဖစ္လုိ႔ ေမြးခန္းထဲမွာ သတ္ျဖတ္ျခင္းမ်ဳိးငါတုိ႔မွာ မရွိ။ အေနာက္ဖက္လုိလည္း ကာကြယ္ေဆးမွာ အဆိပ္ခတ္တာမ်ဳိးလည္းမရွိ။ နအဖႏွင့္ ဒီမုိသမားေတြအခ်င္းခ်င္း ေစာက္တင္းေျပာတာေတြ ၾကားဖန္မ်ားလုိ႔ ၊ မၾကီးမငယ္ရန္ျဖစ္တာေတြ ျမင္ဖန္မ်ားလုိ႔သာ ျမန္မာျဖစ္ရတာကုိ ဂုဏ္ငယ္ေနျခင္းျဖစ္၏


ႏွစ္သစ္မွာ ျမန္မာျဖစ္ရတာဂုဏ္ယူတတ္ပါေစ။


အမ်ဳိးဘာသာ သာသနာအတြက္ ဂုဏ္ယူတတ္ပါေစ။


ယုတ္ညံ့သည့္မြတ္ဆလင္၀ါဒ အျမစ္ျဖဳတ္ေရးမွာ အုတ္တစ္ခ်ပ္သဲတစ္ပြင့္ျဖစ္လာပါေစ။
