Abstract

ABSTRACT This study proposes a counselling frame based on Buddhist ontological soteriology, rooted in the Four Noble Truths, derived from related doctrines in early Buddhism and the Yogācāra school of Buddhism. The frame is based on the main Buddhist doctrine on suffering that the Buddha emphasized– helping people in need to comprehend the nature of the person and personal identity, psychological mechanisms of dysfunction, a path to resolution, and employing skilful-meansto resolution– by clearly providing them with descriptive information and aguide on how to practice contemplation based on the presented information. The counselling frame suggested in the study aims to explore the pilot idea of applying Buddhist primary doctrines to suffering and its resolution for both the professionals and the clients.
