The Zen Buddhist contemplative tradition involves several meditation and instructional techniques that have strong phenomenological and theoretical connections with the experience of loss and the process of grief. From experiences which occurred during personal encounters with individuals (three of whom had a disability) in a grief counselling setting, several points of connection were identified. These included a heightened awareness of the embodied nature of experience, the importance of dialogue and relationship for both healing and transformation, the focus on process as opposed to outcome, the importance of the process of life review, a confrontation with the nature of absence and emptiness, and being present to what is experienced rather than focusing on the need for change. These findings are discussed in terms of Ken Wilber's full-spectrum model of human development, as well as their implications for professional and non-professional support persons of people experiencing grief.
禅宗佛教冥想传统涉及多种冥想和指导技巧,这些技巧在现象学和理论上与丧失体验及悲伤过程有着紧密联系。通过在悲伤辅导环境中与个人(其中三人有残疾)的个人接触中所发生的经历,确定了几个联系点。这些包括对体验的具身性质的更高意识、对话和关系对治愈与转变的重要性、关注过程而非结果、生命回顾过程的重要性、面对缺失和空虚的本质,以及关注所经历的事情而非专注于改变的需求。这些发现将根据肯·威尔伯的人类发展全谱模型进行讨论,以及它们对经历悲伤的人的专业和非专业支持人员的影响。
