Medicine Buddha and Traditional Chinese Medicine

The Khenpo first shares the similarities between Tibetan medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), emphasizing the importance of holistic perspectives. He analyzes how modern diseases are largely related to psychological factors, advocating the principle that "superior people cultivate the mind," and believes that TCM practitioners possess a Zen-like temperament. The Khenpo elaborates on the role of Medicine Buddha in Tibetan medicine, emphasizing that faith does not conflict with science. He calls upon doctors to have compassionate hearts, uphold the TCM tradition, maintain pure original intentions, and embrace healing and saving lives as their mission.
