Mental factors (Buddhism)

Mental factors (buddhism) are part of the Buddhist religion. They are mental qualities that Buddhists believe can help you live a better and more peaceful life. For example, Buddhist teachings say that being kind, compassionate, and having patience all help you develop inner peace, which can bring more balance and harmony to your life. Buddhists also believe that if you practice these mental factors, you can become calmer, happier and more fulfilled in life.
