Tibetan medicine is a science, art and philosophy that provides a holistic approach to health care. It is a science because its principles are enumerated in a logical framework based on an understanding of the body and its relationship to the environment. It is an art because it uses diagnostic techniques based on the insights and compassion of the medical practitioner. And it is a philosophy because it embraces the key Buddhist principles of altruism, karma and ethics.

Dr Tsering Thakchoe Drungtso will share his insights into how the ancient tradition combines these three elements of Buddhist principles, scientific knowledge and diagnostic techniques.

Dr Tsering Thakchoe Drungtso is a practitioner and lecturer of Tibetan medicine at Men-Tsee-Khang (the Tibetan Medical & Astro Institute) in Dharamsala. He is the author of many books including The Healing Science of Tibet. He lectures on Tibetan medicine and astrology worldwide and was awarded the status of Visiting Research Associate Scholar at Darwin College, University of Cambridge, in 2005.

Tibet’s new generation has taken their resistance against Chinese rule to a new level in a cultural renaissance of music and writing and by taking part in the Lhakar movement.

Since 2008, musicians, writers and bloggers have been using their craft to assert their national identity, a testimony to the enduring spirit of Tibetan resistance. Over 30 writers, singers, bloggers, intellectuals have been detained or sentenced after expressing views, writing poetry or prose, or simply sharing information about Chinese government policies and their impact in Tibet today.

At the same time, ordinary Tibetans have been channelling their spirit of resistance into social, cultural and economic activities that are self-constructive (promoting Tibetan language, culture and identity) and non-cooperative (refusing to support Chinese institutions and businesses).

Tenzin Tsundue and Kyinzom Dhongdue will explore these inspiring developments in Tibet.

Tenzin Tsundue is a celebrated activist based in Dharamsala. He has published two books of poetry and has written in various publications worldwide. Read more on him

Kyinzom Dhongdue is a campaigner with Australia Tibet Council and a former journalist in India.
