There is an increase in the number of people who are “questioning their life” which include “the purpose of life,” “why suffer from illness,” and “what happens to me after I die” as they face incidents like the death of someone close, or are diagnosed with a terminal illness.

The term “spirituality” used on TV or in magazines often deal with psychological and/or mental aspects. Today, even in the field of medicine, the term “spirituality” is often used.

The World Health Organization began to thoroughly discuss and consider adding the term “spiritual (spirituality)” to its definition of health to read: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” They are discussing that man is not just a composition of materials but an entity with spirituality.
