Recent research in medicine, in experimental psychology and what is still called parapsychology has thrown some light on the nature of mind and its position in the world. During the last forty years the conviction has steadily grown among medical men that very many cause of disease, organic as well as functional, are directly cause by mental states. The body becomes ill because the mind controlling it either secretly wants to make it ill, or else because it is in such a state of agitation that it cannot prevent the body from sickening. Whatever its physical nature, resistance to disease is unquestionably correlated with the psychological condition of patient. ဆက္ဖတ္ပါရန္Mind not only makes sick, it also cures. An optimistic patient has more chance of getting well than a patient who is worried and unhappy. The recorded instances if faith healing includes cases in which even organic disease were cured almost instantaneously. In this connection it is interesting to observe the prevalence, in Buddhist lands, listening to the recital of the Dhamma for protection and deliverance form evil, and for promoting welfare and well being. The selected discourses for recital are known as PARITTA SUTTAS. PARITTA in Pali, PARITRANA is Sankrit and PRIT in Sinhala, mean principally "Protection". They used to describe certain suttas or discourses (spoking by the Buddha) that are regarded as affording protection and deliverance from harmful influences. The practice of reciting and listening to the PARITAA SUTTAS began very early in the history of Buddhism.
