Due to the expansion of Buddhist scriptures It will be an analysis and explanation for monks or Dhamma practitioners only. But in this article, the author must analyze to cover the lifestyles of ordinary people. This will show that the condition of anxiety is a problem that disturbs the mind and affects one's life. Especially those who need mental focus or steadfastness called samadhi, need to suppress anxiety symptoms that disturb the mind as much as possible. This is because the symptom of Plibodha is anxiety that creates distraction, trembling, and insecurity about emotions. Or if the anxiety occurs a lot and lasts a long time. It will cause a state of stress instead. In addition, anxiety will make us lose our sense of self. Because we cannot control our emotions normally. and will cause the mind to lack systematic thinking This will lead to the use of other body organs not being efficient.
