Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. amazon.com: Tibetan medicine is becoming better known in the Western hemisphere, and this lavishly illustrated volume makes a great contribution to the dissemination of Tibet's medical knowledge. This work features the luminous recreations of traditional medical thanka paintings by the contemporary Nepalese master painter Romi Shrestha. The accompanying text by Ian Baker, who has studies with Hilalayan healers, yogins, and lamas, for fifteen years, unlocks the symbolism of these images for us. -- Yoga World. Product Description: This volume is intended as an artwork in itself and an object of meditation. Based on a revered collection, long considered lost, of Tibetan "thangkas" - elaborate scroll paintings that portray a philosophy of healing based on Buddhist beliefs, Ayurvedic practices and ancient shamanic traditions - these works may still have much to teach us. Created by a traditional artist from Nepal, Romio Shrestha, using the ancient technique of painting with rich minerals such as powdered gold, and lapis lazuli, the works are intended for the minutest contemplation. Divided into sections illuminating the Tibetan Buddhist view of physiology, pathology, diagnosis and cure, the book demonstrates the processes that sustain, enhance and ultimately transform the life-force. It addresses contemporary ills, such as stress, allergies and heart disease, offering practical advice on treatment and prevention. Going beyond cure, a final section introduces more esoteric perspectives on the interaction of body and mind, presenting the body itself as a source of insight and revelation.

"Like an illuminated manuscript, this extraordinarily beautiful book is both an exquisite art-work in itself and an object of profound meditation. It is based on a revered collection, long considered lost, of three-hundred-year-old Tibetan thangkas: elaborate paintings that portray a philosophy of healing based on Buddhist beliefs, Ayurvedic practices, and ancient shamanic traditions - works that still have much to teach us today. Rendered by Nepal's foremost traditional artist, Romio Shrestha, using the age-old technique of painting with rich minerals such as gold, lapis, and garnet, these breathtakingly complex and brilliant works reward the minutest contemplation." "This important book is also a practical guide to our search for physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Tibetan scholar Ian Baker guides us through the paintings, unfolding their invaluable secrets about the remedy and prevention of myriad illnesses. With insights into such "contemporary" ailments as stress, allergies, and heart disease, and illuminated chapters on sexual alchemy, rejuvenation, and Tantric yoga, this book offers an inspirational revisioning of conventional attitudes toward health care, disease, and healing." "The Tibetan Art of Healing is an unprecedented journey into health and transformation, an astonishing volume as timely and revolutionary as it is sumptuous and exuberant."--BOOK JACKET.

> Un très beau livre, en plus d'être d'une belle profondeur.
—Danieljean (Babelio)
> L'art de guérir au Tibet
Préfacé par le dalaï-lama, le texte expose l'histoire et les principes de la médecine tibétaine, avec des traitements et des remèdes représentant l'état de ses pratiques à la fin du XVIIe siècle. Il est précisé qu'ils « ne sont pas destinés à se substituer aux recommandations d'un professionnel de la santé »… Mais ils peuvent intéresser ceux, de plus en plus nombreux, qui cherchent une médecine différente. Et, surtout, ils sont accompagnés d'extraordinaires illustrations d'un Népalais contemporain, Romin Shrestha, réalisées avec des pigments naturels selon l'inspiration des illustrations de l'époque. Minutieuses, précises, poétiques, en de véritables explosions de couleurs, pour souvent aussi de magnifiques visions oniriques. Etonnant. Un cadeau original pour un médecin, entre autres. (Le Seuil, 290 francs.)

> L'art de guérir au Tibet
Pour illustrer cet ouvrage, Romio Shrestha s'est servi de pigments naturels (lapis-lazuli pour le bleu, cinabre pour le rouge, sulfure d'arsenic et poudre d'or pur pour le jaune). De ces peintures minutieuses se dégage tout un univers de mystère et de trouble fidèle à la médecine archaïque du Tibet. Le texte n'apprend pas grand-chose, mais peu importe: à feuilleter ce beau livre, c'est l'imaginaire qui travaille, butinant d'image en image.
