The Spiritual Medicine of Tibet
“In a world which is constantly in a state of flux, where mankind struggles to maintain some kind of balance in the face of increasing change, dramatic upheaval, global conflict, environmental catastrophe and developing illnesses, Tibetan medicine has emerged upon the world stage as an ancient medical system dedicated to offering hope and health to humanity. For 2,500 years this profound, Buddhist medical system was developed on the roof of the world within the protected land of snows, Tibet, maintaining its pristine condition as a pure gem of healing. Through the teachings of Lord Buddha, revelations from the heavens, and the absolute dedication of masterly physicians across millennia, this multifaceted crystal was formed to perfection as a pure spiritual science with the aim of healing all sentient beings.”
