MEDICINE & COMPASSION: A Tibetan Lama's Guidance for Caregivers Ref: RWF0429

Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche with David R Shlim

"Deeply felt kindness and compassion generates a clarity of mind, a sense of beijng present for the person you are caring for. When a doctor or a nurse truly cares for a person, these feelingscan produce a kind of attentiveness that makes it more difficult to make mistakes or errors in judgement. This kindness and concern also inspires confidence in the patient. The patient is able to relax, to be more at ease in a difficult situation. When the doctor has an honest and kind face, and speaks words that show true concern and care, the sick person feels it a hundred times more than any other person would." - Chokyi Myima Rinpoche

TIBETAN MEDICINE: A Practical & Inspirational Guide to Diagnosing, Treating & Healing Ref: REA005

Gerti Samel

The Tibetan people have developed an approach to medical science drawn from thousands of years of accumulated wisdom and intuition about the nature of health and illness. Early influences came from India in the form of what is now called Ayurvedic medicine as well as more spiritual and psychologically based systems, such as the teachings of Buddha. Later, in the 7th and 8th centuries the Tibetan government began sponsoring conferences where doctors skilled in the medical systems of China, Persia, India and Greece presented their ideas. These diverse influences formed a foundation for Tibetan medical theory which acknowledges how health and illness result both from the relationship between the mind and body and people's connectedness to the natural world and sense of spirituality. This beautifully illustrated guide brings readers a vivid picture of both the practical and spiritual dimensions of Tibetan medicine, offering inspiration plus specific practical instructions for using and benefiting from this ancient healing art.
