Compassion as Remedy in Tibetan Medicine

Healing Through Limitless Compassion

Beschreibung

"This translation of an ancient Tibetan Buddhist text helps readers grasp the essence of healing and teaches healthcare practitioners how to develop limitless compassion, an essential quality-as America's current healthcare system makes starkly clear. Compassion as Remedy is a quietly revolutionary book about healthcare, ethics, and spiritual practice delivered as a commentary on a 2,500-year-old Tibetan text-the rGyud-bZhi (The Four Tantras), the treatise for Traditional Tibetan Medicine. This book translates and explains the rGyud-bZhi's "The Physician Chapter." While many books have been written about other ancient holistic modalities such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are few on Traditional Tibetan Medicine. By integrating healthcare with spiritual practice, Compassion as Remedy explains holistic healing and provides guidelines for medical ethics and the development of wisdom and compassion. Dr. Yonten includes examples from his clinical practice, drawn from cross-cultural perspectives and neuroscience, giving readers a rare view of compassion as remedy.
