This study evaluated the effectiveness of a Mahayana Buddhist teaching- and group-based intervention, the Awareness Training Program (ATP), which is textually aligned to a Mahayana Sūtra so that its theory and practice are coherent. The ATP aims to alleviate stress by enhancing participant’s compassion and wisdom of nonattachment. Middle-aged working adults (n = 122) in Hong Kong participated in this randomized waiting-list controlled trial. Self-reported psychological questionnaires were used to assess the participants’ level of stress (PSS), sense of coherence (SOC), psychological well-being (GHQ), and nonattachment (NAS) at pretest, posttest, and 3 months later. The data showed significant improvements in the intervention group over the controls for all outcome measures at posttest and 3 months later. A mediation analysis demonstrated that nonattachment mediated both the treatment and the maintenance effects for all outcome variables.

✨ If people tell you that if you believe in the Buddha, pretty soon you will find success and you will earn more money, that is not Buddhism. The Buddha actually shows the way toward attaining freedom and happiness and that is why we follow the Buddha’s teachings. — Ven. Pomnyun Sunim ✨

✨ The problem is not the light—the problem is within sentient beings. We know that sunlight reaches everywhere. The fact that the blind cannot see it does not mean the light isn’t there. — Master Tanluan (476–554 CE) ✨

🪷 Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Heart Sutra 🪷
✨ Listen Sariputra, this Body itself is Emptiness and Emptiness itself is this Body. This Body is not other than Emptiness and Emptiness is not other than this Body. The same is true of Feelings, Perceptions, Mental Formations, and Consciousness. — Heart Sutra ✨
