Reseña del libro "Buddhism as Medicine: Uncover Your Innate Healing (en Inglés)"
According to Modern Science, Buddhist Practices can Heal you: Keep Reading to Discover How.It is important to understand that the practices of Buddhism are not the religion of Buddhism, even when terms like "spirituality," "deity," or "God" are used. If we don't want, we don't need to become Buddhists in order to practice and achieve important results, especially when more and more Western scientific research is being conducted and published, finding amazing connections between the ancient teachings of Buddhism with today's scientific discoveries. It is possible to view the terms used in thousand-year-old ancient texts to understand their true function in the process of healing. The ancient terminology is another reason for some people to become skeptical of the healing powers of Buddhism. But when you begin to untangle and modernize the concepts, it becomes clear what their true meaning were. According to Rinpoche, physical suffering, illness, and sickness are natural for all humans. Sickness, however, does not appear independently. It is important to understand that you do not become sick without other factors influencing the physical state. This also means that sickness is not a singular unit to heal. There is always something in addition that needs to be healed. Throughout this book you will explore these various practices that can be used alone or together with medicinal treatment. Remember that, as you continue your exploration of this healing practice, the ancient foundation has been laid thousands of years ago and is currently supported through scientific backing as well.

After a long voyage through the most important temples of ancient Buddhism in Tibet, China, Cambodia and Myanmar, in 2009 he finally approached Thailand, where he found his perfect balance into the fabulous and ancient Theravada Buddhism culture.
