Comments on: Vision http://dharmadoctors.org/blog Buddhist inspired resources for physicians and other health care professionals.

I am connected with a local meditation center (Nalanda West, in Fremont) which is very interested in supporting programming that brings together these venerable "arts" (medicine and meditation). We have a number of physicians in our community as well as practitioners of Oriental Medicine - acupuncture in particular. If it appeals to you, or maybe recipients of your posts, please consider attending a public lecture with Ven. Pora Tulku Rinpoche at Nalanda West this coming weekend. The lecture is Friday night, 7:00 and will present aspects of the practice of Tibetan Medicine. He is also available for consultations Friday through Sunday. For those who have openness to other methodologies, this would be a low impact opportunity to meet a genuine master of the tradition and get a sense of how it's practiced. (Pora Tulku lives in India and visits the US once or twice a year) Ven Pora Tulku Rinpoche represents the fulfillment of the Tibetan ideal of a physician - integrating deep spirituality (Tibetan Buddhist) and extensive medical training. I'm not a physician, but work closely with many pediatric doctors who care for and guide the families I serve on their palliative course. Thank you for initiating this conversation!
