About the Conference:
Tibetan medicine with a history of more than
2500 years is based on the unique system of indigenous medicine practiced in
Tibet for hundreds of years with the integration of wisdom from various Asian
medical systems. With the growing popularity of Tibetan medicine worldwide due
to its holistic approach and its multi-faceted wisdom, the responsibility to
share and propagate the true essence of Tibetan Medicine has fallen on us to
avoid any misrepresentation of our rich culture. Conducting conference is one of
the most effective approaches to share the profound knowledge of Tibetan
Medicine to doctors and the interested individuals as well as to benefit all
suffering beings. Thus, the idea of this 2nd international
conference on Tibetan Medicine comes into birth. We have invited Tibetan medical scholars from
all around the world to explore their knowledge and practical experiences in
accordance with the title of the conference. This conference will be the 2nd
international conference on Tibetan Medicine, considering the medical
conference held at samye, Tibet during King Tresong Duetsen in
the 8th century as the 1st international medical
conference.
