medicine and environment

The medicine Buddha’s mandala sits at the centre of Tibetan medicine as a metaphor of the healing role of a protected and pure environment, free of pollutants. When nature is in harmony, all its produce is medicine and our planet becomes a healing biosphere. And so, to ensure the health of humanity, we must protect the wellbeing of the planet.¹

Provocation diseases in Sowa Rigpa are diseases connected to environmental imbalance.
