Tibetan Medicine

The book situates medicine within the broader religious and cultural framework of Tibetan society. From its roots in shamanic Bon practice to the transformative influence of Mahayana Buddhism, healing was inseparable from ritual, compassion, and karma. Medical knowledge was transmitted through teacher–disciple lineages, family inheritances, and, uniquely, rebirth traditions.
