Hospitals were places of laughter, amusement and recreation. They were houses of joy.

The masters of the land believed that sickness should be cured before it became sickness.

Healing was always needed and was considered a necessary part of life.

They went to the hospitals to improve their art of breathing. They went for stillness.

Individuals, mostly, healed themselves. The art of self-healing was the fourth most important aspect of education.
