THE BOOK OF TIBETAN MEDICINE
Tibetan medicine is a centuries-old traditional medical system that employs a complex approach to diagnosis, incorporating techniques such as pulse analysis and urinalysis, and utilizes behavior and dietary modification, medicines composed of natural materials (e.g., herbs and minerals) and physical therapies (e.g. Tibetan acupuncture, moxabustion, etc.) to treat illness. The Tibetan medical system is based upon a synthesis of the Indian (Ayurveda), Persian (Unani), Greek, indigenous Tibetan, and Chinese medical systems, and it continues to be practiced in Tibet, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Ladakh, Siberia, China and Mongolia, as well as more recently in parts of Europe and North America. It embraces the traditional Buddhist belief that all illness ultimately results from the „three poisons“ of the mind: ignorance, attachment and aversion. Read more: > Here <

> CONGRESS – 10th anniversary of the New Yuthok Institute <
October 31 2009 (9h – 18h)
„Spirituality & compassion as cure of the body and mind“
Das > New Yuthok Institut < feiert dieses Jahr sein 10-jähriges Jubiläum. Aus diesem Anlass wird am 31. Oktober 09 ein Kongress in Mailand organisiert. Über ihre Erfahrungen mit Tibetischer Medizin im Westen berichten:
- Tibetische Medizin und Homöopathie, Dr. Victorine Cumero
- Beziehung zwischen Buddhismus und Tibetischer Medizin, Prof. Pasang Yonten Arya Tendi Sherpa
- Tibetische und Westliche Medizin, Dr. Med Walburg Maric’ Oehler
- Produkte der Tibetischen Medizin, Dr. Herbert Schwabl
- Tibetische Medizin und Onkologie, Dr. Alfredo Celano
- Mitgefühl und Tibetische Medizin als psychologische Therapie, Prof. Gioacchino Pagliaro
- Tibetische Medizin und alltägliche Probleme aus der Praxis, Dr. Simonetta Nicolai
- Präsentation ausgewählter Fälle, Dr. Tenzin Thupten
The New Yuthok Institute is an Association founded by Prof. Yonten Arya (T. Sherpa) with several medical doctors and psychologists to preserve and spread the age-old teachings of Tibetan Medicine.
This particular medical system is distinguished from all other Eastern Medicines because of its strong spiritual and psychological matrix linked to the connection initially created with Bon shamanism and, later and especially, because of its strong link to Tibetan Buddhism.
It is a well-known fact that Buddhism is at the center of Tibetan Medicine which began with the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni, himself, and it is just this close and essential relationship with Buddhism which sets the Tibetan system apart from all others.
Tibetan Medicine, in addition to its high ethical values, gives us a detailed description of the mind, the mental states and how they function. Today, much of this large body of information has been scientifically validated by neuroscience. The Tibetan view takes not only the individual and biological aspects of the mind into account but also its energetic and spiritual dimension. It is this dimension which dictates how we view all things and how they take shape in our minds.
It is especially, though not only, for this reason that Tibetan Medicine has awakened great interest among the community of psychologists, psychiatrists and mental health workers.
Tibetan Medicine is also unique because it doesn’t isolate itself from medical-scientific views and, in fact, embraces and complements them to offer an extraordinary contribution not only because of the therapeutic results it achieves but also because of its ability to integrate with scientific medicine and with other complementary medicines.
Tibetan Medicine, today, provides the West with an extraordinary opportunity because TM can act as a bridge to unite the various scientific, medical and psychological disciplines and can provide a path to achieve the ‘humanization’ of medical care.
With this Congress, the New Yuthok Institute celebrates its tenth anniversary by presenting aspects of the important training it has provided to many psychologists, medical doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, naturopaths and health workers in general and the results it has achieved in the context of clinical applications.
> Geschichte der Tibetischen Medizin <
und die Modernen Aspekte der Tibetischen Medizin
Die Tibetische Medizin hat ihre Hauptwurzeln im Lande selbst und in der uralten Erfahrung und Geschicklichkeit des tibetischen Volkes, das seit jeher in enger Verbindung zur Natur gelebt hat und zu seinem Überleben in großer Höhe stets auf eigene Ressourcen angewiesen war. Im Laufe der letzten zweitausend Jahre hat aber auch die medizinische Weisheit anderer Länder und Zivilisationen Eingang in das einheimische System gefunden – entweder wurden neue Einsichten direkt und beabsichtigt übernommen oder durch natürliche gegenseitige Befruchtung der Kulturen über Jahrhunderte hinweg allmählich assimiliert. Nachfolgend einige wichtige Stationen
Seit Jahrtausenden entwickelt sich in Tibet eine medizinische Überlieferung, die als Bön-Tradition bekannt ist.

Two day seminar
rLung, mind and physical Yoga (luejong)
Concepts and practice, level II
Prof. Pasang Y. Arya
November 07-08 2009
The Tibetan tantric yoga is a practice that has been done by Indian and Tibetan yogis for centuries, and is not like yoga usually practiced in the West. It is a practice of rLung (psychic wind) and exercise of the mind purely based on spiritual development, which was laid down by the tantric tradition of master Pundit Naropa and later masters. The exercice removes the negative energies from the channels and chakras by physical positions and movements which harmonize wind and mind and release inner stress and tension. Dedicated and genuine pratitioners may tame the wind, develop spiritual experience, and become able to control the mind and emotion. The life-long exercice with proper motivation and correct view can lead to the pure state of awakened Buddhahood. Generally the yoga technique basically helps stimulate the channels and chakras, and purifies the body/mind and promote the health.

Western Herbs from the TCM Perspective
Traditional Chinese Medicine, also known as TCM, includes a range of traditional medicine practices originating in China. Although well accepted in the mainstream of medical care throughout East Asia, it is considered an alternative medical system in much of the Western world.
TCM practices include such treatments as Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary therapy, and both Tui na and Shiatsu massage. Qigong and Taijiquan are also closely associated with TCM.
TCM claims to be rooted in meticulous observation of nature, the cosmos, and the human body, and to be thousands of years old. Major theories include those of Yin-yang, the Five Phases, the human body Meridian/Channel system, Zang Fu organ theory, six confirmations, four layers, etc. Read More: > HERE <

What is Tibetan Medicine
Tibetan Medicine (TM), one of the world’s oldest healing traditions, has been practiced for more than four thousand years in Tibet and the Himalayan region. TM, called „Sowa Rigpa“ in Tibetan, means the knowledge and science of healing. „Sowa“ means to heal the imbalanced and „Rigpa“ means the knowledge or science of a particular subject. Along with five treatises of Buddhist Doctrine such as technology, medicine (Sowa Rigpa), studying of sounds, logic, and philosophy, Sowa Rigpa is regarded as one of the most important sciences in Tibet.
The Fundamental Principle Of Tibetan Medicine
The fundamental principle of Tibetan medicine is that the body, the disease, and treatment, all share common principles and are comprised of the five elements, earth, fire, water, air, and space. This approach recognizes that every thing in the universe – plants, animals, and human beings including all our body tissues, internal organs, skin, skeletal system and even emotions, are composed of these five elements. Each one of them plays a major role, both individually and in combination as aspects of all matter. The five elements maintain reciprocal relationships. When they stay in balance, it results in a healthy body, speech, and mind. However, if any one of these elements becomes out of balance, either excess, deficient, or disturbed, not only does the affected element manifest disharmony, but also it will cause the rest of the elements to lose their balance and manifest particular syndromes or symptoms. Since each individual disease is caused by disharmony or disturbances in one of the five elements, the treatment principle is to balance the elements through diet according to an individual’s constitution and behavior, utilize herbs, and other accessory therapies such as blood letting, Mey-Tzar (Tibetan moxa ), external therapy (heat or cold), natural or medicinal bath, enema, and Ku Nye ( Tibetan Massage ).
About the Shang Shung Institute
The Shang Shung Institute (SSI) is an international organization that seeks to broaden the world’s understanding of traditional Tibetan culture. At this moment in history the preservation of this rich and beautiful culture is of utmost importance as it is in real danger of being lost. As such, the SSI promotes programs and initiatives that support the continuation and survival of this rich cultural heritage.
The SSI was founded in Italy in 1989 by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, a renowned scholar of Tibetan culture, as well as one of the foremost living Dzogchen Masters. Other branches of the SSI have since been established in North America, Austria, Russia, and Argentina.
The SSI develops and maintains projects in various countries including: the translation, publication, and archiving of Tibetan texts; the organization and presentation of international cultural and educational events to share and preserve Tibetan heritage; and formal courses of study that train students in ancient Tibetan arts and sciences, including art, language, and traditional Tibetan medicine.
The Institute is active in four main areas of interest:
- Archives and multimedia
- Culture and events
- Traditional Tibetan medicine
- Tibetan language study and research

Introduction into Trad. Tibetan Medicine
> Grundlagen der Tibetischen Medizin <
First Seminar Cycle “ Introduction into Traditional Tibetan Medicine “ successfull:
Around half of the participants of the seminar „Introduction into Traditional Tibetan Medicine“ were eager enough to take the exam at the end of the first seminar cycle. After having written their homework, the participants came from different parts of Austria (Vienna, Upper and Lower Austria, Styria, Carinthia) and Germany in order to accomplish the challenging 3-hour exam on March 21.
„The exam motivates me to deepen the knowledge. The Tibetan Medicine is rather complex and I would like to make use of it later on at my own small clinic. Therefore the studies are very important“, said doctor Z. from Vienna.
These introductory seminars delivered a „first sight“ into the diversity and depth of the Traditional Tibetan Medicine. Many of the participants want to continue and plan to attend the diploma course next year where they can extend their gained knowledge and get a deeper insight into the fields of „Tibetan Massage“ and/or „Gentle Therapies in the TTM“. In addition, special seminars for doctors are offered in the field of „Diagnostic Methods in the TTM“ where authentic Tibetan doctors will teach the art of pulse and urine diagnosis.
„I am happy that there is a big interest in the traditional Tibetan art of healing. This will help spread the TTM authentically in the West“, says Ven. Geshe Tenzin Dhargye, director of the Tibet Center. „A lot of our participants are doctors. Therefore we want to cooperate more closely with Austrian doctors in the future and thus want to cultivate the dialogue among experts“, explains Geshe T. Dhargye.

Geschichte des Ayurveda; Ursprung Ashtanga
>> Ayurveda a system of traditional Medicine <<
Was verstehen wir heutzutage unter Ayurveda ?
Betrachtet man den gegenwärtigen Gebrauch des Begriffes Ayurveda, so kann man vier Bedeutungen unterscheiden:
1. Äyurveda bezeichnet eine traditionelle gelehrte medizinische Wissenschaft im Indischen Kulturbereich. Auch heute noch wird Äyurveda gelegentlich im traditionellen Kontext gelernt. Eine solche Ausbildung erfolgt meist in engem persönlichen Kontakt zu einem Lehrer und ist eingebettet in eine umfassende traditionelle Bildung. Beispielsweise werden eine solide Kenntnis der klassischen grammatischen Wissenschaft des Sanskrit und der klassischen indischen Philosophie als Voraussetzungen für diese Art der traditionellen Ausbildung angesehen. Grundlage für diese Ausbildung sind die klassischen Texte der Äyurvedischen Wissenschaft, die in Sanskrit verfasst sind.
2. Äyurveda ist heute ein eigenständiges professionalisiertes Medizinsystem in Indien. Im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert hat der Äyurveda in Indien einen tiefgreifenden Wandel erfahren, der äußerlich dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß die Äyurvedische Ausbildung und Berufsausübung nach dem Vorbild der Biomedizin professionalisiert wurde. So wird Äyurveda heutzutage an Hochschulen gelehrt und nach einem fünfeinhalbjährigen Studium kann die Approbation als Äyurvedischer Arzt (B. A. M. S., d. h. „Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery“) erlangt werden. Zudem existieren auch eigene Äyurvedische Ärztekammern und Forschungsräte.
3. In Europa und Nordamerika ist in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten eine besondere Form des Äyurveda verbreitet worden, die man in Anlehnung an Kenneth G. Zysk (Zysk 2001) „New Age Ayurveda“ nennen kann. Diese Spielart des Äyurveda ist gekennzeichnet durch eine übermäßige Betonung von Spiritualität. Die klassische Äyurvedische Tradition hat im Gegensatz dazu die religiös-spirituellen Aspekte immer von der ayurvedischen Heilkunde unterschieden.
„Der klassische Äyurveda in Indien hat die medizinische Ausbildung des Äyurveda bewusst getrennt von der spirituellen und religiösen Disziplin der yogischen Askese.“
4Kenneth Zysk, Indologe (2001, p.24)
4. Ebenfalls in Europa und Nordamerika wird Äyurveda in den letzten Jahren oft in den Bereich von „wellness“, d. h. Maßnahmen zur Erhaltung und Steigerung von Wohlbefinden, eingeordnet. Dabei wird die heilkundliche und therapeutische Dimension des Äyurveda vollkommen außer Acht gelassen.
