Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper discusses a four-dimensional model of mindful sustainable aging (MSA) in the four biological, psychological, social, spiritual dimensions. The model is made up of eight components, activeness, bodily awareness, change processes, vigorousness, dynamism, mental alertness, social support and spiritual support. Modern western and traditional Buddhist notions of mindfulness/sati, and their utility in terms of improving the physical, mental and social lives of seniors, are explored, the uniqueness of MSA being in the provision of a construct that is more integrated, holistic, and multi-faceted than other current gerontological theories. This paper, by drawing attention to the four-dimensional MSA model, therefore attempts to demonstrate how mindfulness practices support these four dimensions (i.e., biological, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions).

有意识的可持续老龄化的四维模型:一个整体的选择

摘要本文从生物、心理、社会、精神四个维度探讨了有意识的可持续老龄化(MSA)的四维模型。该模型由八个组成部分组成，即主动性、身体意识、变化过程、活力、动态性、精神警觉性、社会支持和精神支持。本文探讨了现代西方和传统佛教的正念/正念概念，以及它们在改善老年人身体、心理和社会生活方面的效用。与其他当前的老年学理论相比，MSA的独特性在于它提供了一个更综合、更全面、更多方面的结构。因此，本文通过对四维MSA模型的关注，试图证明正念练习如何支持这四个维度(即生物、心理、社会和精神维度)。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Religion, Spirituality and Aging is an interdisciplinary, interfaith professional journal in which the needs, aspirations, and resources of aging constituencies come clearly into focus. Combining practical innovation and scholarly insight, the peer-reviewed journal offers timely information and probing articles on such subjects as long-term care for the aging, support systems for families of the aging, retirement, counseling, death, ethical issues, and more . Providing a crucial balance between theory and practice, the journal informs secular professionals – administrators, counselors, nurses, physicians, recreational rehabilitative therapists, and social workers – about developments in the field of Religion, Spirituality, and Aging. The journal also serves as a resource for religious professionals, such as pastors, religious educators, chaplains, and pastoral counselors who work with aging people and their families.
