Reviews

Tibet's foremost traditional artist has here created over 250 exquisite illustrations that reproduce paintings from Buddhist medical tantras, traditionally made as study aids for Tibetan doctors. Based on a revered 300 year old lost collection, the intricate works unfold the secrets of causes, preventions and remedies for a myriad of illnesses, portraying a philosophy of healing based on Buddhist beliefs, Ayurvedic practices and shamanistic traditions. They chart the search for physical, emotional and spiritual well-being by combining medical understanding with ancient wisdom. This book will enchant you with it's magnificant illustrations and in doing so will also make you question conventional western attitudes to health care and disease. (Kirkus UK)
