The correct way to view and care for our body to make use of it for spiritual practice
Though Buddhism teaches us not to be attached to our physical body, it is a tool for the practice of the Way, a medium through which we cultivate wisdom. We should use it properly, and care for it by protecting our physical health through doing exercises, sitting meditation, or simply relaxing our body and mind at any time or place.
