As the Roman ancient saying goes: anima sana in corpore sano, which translates as “a healthy mind in a healthy body”, invites us to find the most balanced synergy between the two.

According to the different approaches in Buddhist vast array of teachings, the body is considered very differently.

Sometimes the body is considered to be merely a tool, whose excesses need to be controlled.

Sometimes form is meditated upon as emptiness.
