The Modern Legacy of Medicine Buddha
Peter Fenton traveled to India and Nepal, seeking the few places left where Tibetan refugees still practice Tibetan Medicine in entirety - one of the most powerful healing traditions in the world, perfected over centuries and now in danger of being lost with the dispersal of its people. His passion was to preserve their ancient art and explore its secrets for our own well-being today.
He hiked with herbalists in Himalayan foothills; toured monasteries, shrines, and healing centers; and interviewed lamas, Tantric healers, and Tibetan doctors.
With fascinating stories, photographs, and botanical drawings, he explains the Tibetans' use of medicinal herbs and the living spiritual principles that give their medical practice its power. The result is a practical guide to help each of us rebalance body, mind, and spirit - the essence of good health.
