31 How do we come to think about Spirituality/Religion? The Golden Rule Christianity So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 7:12). Confucianism - Do not do to others what you would not like yourself. Then there will be no resentment against you, either in the family or in the state (Analects 12:2). Buddhism -- Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful (Udana- Varga 5, 1). Hinduism -- This is the sum of duty; do naught onto others what you would not have them do unto you (Mahabharata 5, 1517). Islam -- No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself (Sunnah). Judaism -- What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellowman. This is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary (Talmud, Shabbat 3id). Taoism -- Regard your neighbor s gain as your gain, and your neighbor s loss as your own loss (Tai Shang Kan Yin P ien).

32 Could it be social support, sacred rituals, prayer, and other manifestations of spirituality are significant dimensions in faith and healing. the ability to recognize and mobilize these resources on a patient s behalf is thus a vital and largely untapped part of the physician s healing role.

40 Focus on spiritual well-being: harmonious interconnectedness of mind-body-spirit--use of the JAREL spiritual well-being scale Prayer is an important part of my life. I believe I have spiritual well-being. As I grow older, I find myself more tolerant of others beliefs. I find meaning and purpose in my life. I feel there is a close relationship between my spiritual beliefs and what I do. I believe in an afterlife. When I am sick, I have less spiritual well-being. I believe in a supreme being. I am able to receive and give love to others. God has little meaning in my life. I am satisfied with the way I am using my abilities. Prayer does not help me in making decisions. I am able to appreciate differences in others. I am pretty well put together. I prefer that others make decisions for me. I find it hard to forgive others. I accept my life situations. Belief in a supreme being has no part in my life. I cannot accept change in my life. I am satisfied with my life. I set goals for myself. Hungelmann J, Kenkel-Rossi E, Klassen L, Stollenwerk R.
