The Medicine Buddha

Message from His Holiness The XIVth Dalai Lama

"I believe that the Tibetan medical system can contribute substantially to maintaining a healthy mind and a healthy body. Like the traditional Chinese and Indian systems, Tibetan medicine views health as a question of balance. A variety of circumstances such as diet, lifestyle, seasonal and mental conditions can disturb this natural balance, which gives rise to different kinds of disorders. A Tibetan physician employs his own senses to examine the individual's general balance of health as a whole. Treatment involves dietary and behavioral advice and medication. Medicines, which have few side-effects, are obtained from natural sources such as herbs, minerals and organic products and prepared under controlled conditions.
