4 Pak,

You robbed me !! I am about to continue this in my  thread in Real World Issues to explain Placebo and Energy Effects.
To elaborate further for you, when people have certain belief and faith, even those it is blind or wrong, they develop a positive energy in their body and that helps them happier and eventually his life and work go smoother. Of course it is only temporary but it helps for awhile.  Buddha did not explain this at his time.

Careful with what you trying to spread here, basically there is 2 types of teaching given by Buddha one is for lay people and another is for his disciples (nuns & monks). In some of his teaching, Buddha mentioned his teaching will be most on avoiding/away from suffering, create good karma & also achieve nirvana.

Buddha wish is to spread his teaching as much as possible so that those who willing to listen gain merit, could achieve nirvana and no longer need to rebirth in samsara/cycle of birth & death.

It will be useless and wasting time, if Buddha teach about faith & energy. Like what u already answered by yourself here, those positive energy "it is only temporary".

BTW isnt Buddha already said "Everything is impermanent" ?
