The purpose of this study is to see if a group program based on Buddhist Saseongje has any effect on decreasing elders' attachment and improving their life satisfaction. In order to test the purpose of the study, a pilot program was conducted with six elders over 60, whose application had been accepted after being assessed at The Elders' Welfare House of Youngdo-Gu, Busan. Then the pilot program was revised before 12 people were selected for the main program. The participants in the program were on average 71 years old, and all female Buddhists. The program was carried out over 8 sessions, and each session was limited to 90 minutes. For the purpose of testing the effect of this program, a test of the degree of obsession and life satisfaction was conducted before and after the program, with the result that the average value and standard deviation were found. The difference of scores in attachment and life satisfaction that the experiment group had, was tested. After each session, the process of change was examined through the counseling of each individual elder. In the last session, a questionnaire survey was conducted with all the participants and open questions were asked of them so that an overall evaluation could be made of the program and themselves. The results are as follows: First, for the elders who participated in the group counselling program using Saseongje, their obsession revealed significant decrease. Second, for the same elders, their life satisfaction revealed significant increase. Judging from these results, it is seen that the group counselling program for elders' welfare using Saseongje is useful to decrease their attachment and increase their life satisfaction. * Major in Buddhist Counseling, The Graduate School of Buddhist Culture ** Professor of the Department of Home Economics Education in Dongguk University
