The key to “Regimen” lies in “nourishing heart”. Buddhist regimen is to use Buddhist theories, Buddhist faith and social practice to purify the heart, as well as do good things to keep health and extend life. The method to make people life extension is keeping in good health. Targets of regimen should contain both sides of physical and mental health meanwhile all Buddhist practice cover both sides. Regimen is self-cultivation, while adjusting the heart must come first. Body and mind as well as limbs and soul are a whole, with reciprocal causation and mutual effect. “Abandoning causes and conditions and ceasing all distracting thoughts” can attain the state “the humane live long life”, promoting longevity. Therefore Buddhist regimen advocates “spirit cultivation”, “conduct cultivation” and “virtue cultivation”. (From Shaolin Encyclopedia)
