Fundamentals of Tibetan Medicine – A translation of the book published by Men-Tsee-Khang
"His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama"
This book is a translation of the English "Fundamentals of Tibetan Medicine," published by Men-Tsee-Khang (School of Tibetan Medicine and Astrology in Dharamsala, North India).
About the book:
Dr. Dawa, the director of Men-Tsee-Khang, commissioned Florian Ploberger to publish a German version of this book to make this valuable and unique aspect of Tibetan cultural heritage more accessible to readers.
Key insights from the foreword by the 14th Dalai Lama:
"In Tibetan medicine, the understanding of the nature of mind is significantly more pronounced than in Western medicine. Purely physical functions are less thoroughly explored in Tibetan medicine than in Western medicine. Without mixing the two approaches or favoring one over the other, both teachings should work together to deepen mutual understanding. This can enhance the effectiveness of both healing methods." Tibetan medicine has a much deeper understanding of the two.
