The New Yuthok Institute is an Association founded by Prof. Yonten Arya (T. Sherpa) with several medical doctors and psychologists to preserve and spread the age-old teachings of Tibetan Medicine.
This particular medical system is distinguished from all other Eastern Medicines because of its strong spiritual and psychological matrix linked to the connection initially created with Bon shamanism and, later and especially, because of its strong link to Tibetan Buddhism.
It is a well-known fact that Buddhism is at the center of Tibetan Medicine which began with the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni, himself, and it is just this close and essential relationship with Buddhism which sets the Tibetan system apart from all others.
Tibetan Medicine, in addition to its high ethical values, gives us a detailed description of the mind, the mental states and how they function. Today, much of this large body of information has been scientifically validated by neuroscience. The Tibetan view takes not only the individual and biological aspects of the mind into account but also its energetic and spiritual dimension. It is this dimension which dictates how we view all things and how they take shape in our minds.
It is especially, though not only, for this reason that Tibetan Medicine has awakened great interest among the community of psychologists, psychiatrists and mental health workers.
Tibetan Medicine is also unique because it doesn’t isolate itself from medical-scientific views and, in fact, embraces and complements them to offer an extraordinary contribution not only because of the therapeutic results it achieves but also because of its ability to integrate with scientific medicine and with other complementary medicines.
Tibetan Medicine, today, provides the West with an extraordinary opportunity because TM can act as a bridge to unite the various scientific, medical and psychological disciplines and can provide a path to achieve the ‘humanization’ of medical care.
With this Congress, the New Yuthok Institute celebrates its tenth anniversary by presenting aspects of the important training it has provided to many psychologists, medical doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, naturopaths and health workers in general and the results it has achieved in the context of clinical applications.
> Geschichte der Tibetischen Medizin <
und die Modernen Aspekte der Tibetischen Medizin
Die Tibetische Medizin hat ihre Hauptwurzeln im Lande selbst und in der uralten Erfahrung und Geschicklichkeit des tibetischen Volkes, das seit jeher in enger Verbindung zur Natur gelebt hat und zu seinem Überleben in großer Höhe stets auf eigene Ressourcen angewiesen war. Im Laufe der letzten zweitausend Jahre hat aber auch die medizinische Weisheit anderer Länder und Zivilisationen Eingang in das einheimische System gefunden – entweder wurden neue Einsichten direkt und beabsichtigt übernommen oder durch natürliche gegenseitige Befruchtung der Kulturen über Jahrhunderte hinweg allmählich assimiliert. Nachfolgend einige wichtige Stationen
Seit Jahrtausenden entwickelt sich in Tibet eine medizinische Überlieferung, die als Bön-Tradition bekannt ist.
> TIBETAN TANTRIC YOGA AND LUEJONG <
Two day seminar
rLung, mind and physical Yoga (luejong)
Concepts and practice, level II
Prof. Pasang Y. Arya
November 07-08 2009
The Tibetan tantric yoga is a practice that has been done by Indian and Tibetan yogis for centuries, and is not like yoga usually practiced in the West. It is a practice of rLung (psychic wind) and exercise of the mind purely based on spiritual development, which was laid down by the tantric tradition of master Pundit Naropa and later masters. The exercice removes the negative energies from the channels and chakras by physical positions and movements which harmonize wind and mind and release inner stress and tension. Dedicated and genuine pratitioners may tame the wind, develop spiritual experience, and become able to control the mind and emotion. The life-long exercice with proper motivation and correct view can lead to the pure state of awakened Buddhahood. Generally the yoga technique basically helps stimulate the channels and chakras, and purifies the body/mind and promote the health.
