Sun, 04 Dec 2011 15:28:55 +0000 http://dharmadoctors.org/?p=374#comment-2463 Hello, Great discussion. I am the founder of Acupuncture Ambassadors (www.acupunctureambassadors.org). At present we are helping a group called Moxafrica.org They are doing a Phase II study using moxibustion for TB and HIV. I know that is research will transform the work of medical practitioners to fight TB worldwide. I would be very interested in working with all groups including other Acupuncture groups to help people in Tibet. Let me know what we may be able to do together. Thank you. Best regards, Anthony Hello, Great discussion.

]]> Comment on How Meditation May Change the Brain by Salinya http://dharmadoctors.org/blog/2011/02/how-meditation-may-change-the-brain/#comment-2148 Salinya Sun, 05 Jun 2011 09:49:43 +0000 http://dharmadoctors.org/?p=840#comment-2148 Hello! Very recently have I began reading about mindfulness and meditation, and although without seeking professional opinion, I have already identified that should I enroll in a meditation course, I will be unable to focus. As I learn more from books and blogs (like this one) I tend to think that I have been living life mindlessly, doing things merely because it has been my routine for my whole life. I seriously am considering going into a meditation class, changing my perspective in life and being aware of myself and the life I am living. I have always had questioned whether I will be able to attain the state of “inner peace” by being mindful, but I guess I wouldn’t really know until I try. I do hope I will be able to be fully aware, “mindful” of myself. I just need to know the first step. Hello!

There are few actual Buddhist practitioners in clinical medicine despite the growing popularity of mindfulness and meditation. Yet as pointed out on this web site, the merging of two complementary traditions for the relief of suffering makes all the sense in the world. A forum to support and share the understanding of Buddhist doctors is needed. Ken Wilson Professor of Medicine Duke University This website is a wonderful idea.
