As a Tibetan doctor who is following in the footsteps of the great Tibetan physician Yuthog Pa, my main practice is The Four Medical Tantras. Recently a small number of healers both Tibetan and non-Tibetan have started trying to teach and practice Tibetan medicine, making certain modifications to our practices in the hopes of simplifying things for the practitioner. On the one hand, this can be good because it helps spread awareness about Tibetan medicine. On the other hand, it can ultimately be ruinous, and subject people to negative influences. Traditional training is the foundation of any proper practice of Tibetan medicine.
