| Summary: | 碩士 === 玄奘大學 === 宗教與文化學系碩士在職專班 === 107 === The main purpose of this study is to explore the spiritual growth of self-recognition, ascension, and the healing experience of the body-mind-soul from the author’s personal life. The author, a person who had been cared, was transformed into an active person to care others. That is, from the experience of being taken care of, the author becomes a helper to devote herself to the society. Eight research participants were invited to share their life experiences through qualitative research methods, in-depth interviews, and ethnographic non-structural interviews to conduct the whole research and analysis.
The eight research participants who participated in the interview had different religious beliefs or folk custom experiences. The eight participants’ life experiences explored in the thesis include such various issue dimensions as their intrinsic family, marriage family, health conditions, spiritual intrinsic, or how they seek their life missions. After having faced such economic difficulties or the bindings of negative emotions as confusion, anger, self-abandonment, and self-destruction behavior, one has made up his mind to stand up again and to outstretch his mental journey through the modern spiritual learning, meditation, or any other kind of religious contact. Besides, one has made other different life choices by way of deep learning and practicing Buddhist Dharma or folk beliefs, which have various influences on both his internal psychology and external physiology.
The participants in this research, in the face of various life issues, have found the stability and internal dependence of the emotions, have united both the body and mind, and have completed the spiritual life through religious beliefs, religious feelings, religious experiences, and religious practicing processes. In the beginning, these participants are able to accept themselves, affirm themselves, make their own minds and bodies settled, admit and accept their family with love, and tolerate their family and relatives. Then, they have put the physical, spiritual, and divine properties into unity. And at last, with love, they’ve influenced and helped those people around them to transform their own lives and then turn over a new leaf. In the research, the participants get to know how to practice and implement their theory into such daily routines as eating, getting dressed, living, and taking vehicles. In addition, they are supposed to learn how to grow and become mature through the healing, transformation, change, and self-life growth of the body-mind-soul life narratives.
