At present, the elder population has been increasing every year. The government must allocate funds for welfare and health care for the elder to have a better quality of life with minimal impacts on their daily life. The elder having a good quality of life depends on a daily basic practice and good primary care of their own lives. When they become older, they would have healthy body, and can live and coexist with society. In Buddhism, to have a better quality of life includes two aspects: physical and mental quality of life. By having both qualities complete will contribute to happy livelihood of people, and when people are healthy, they would also have a good immunization. In addition, when people are healthy, without sickness or disability, it will result in a good mental quality, and when we have both physical and mental qualities, our lives can progress without problems or worries on our minds and bodies making our families and societies coexist happily.
