About the Book

Positive Health in Tibetan and Ayurvedic Tradition presents a profound synthesis of ancient Indian and Tibetan medical wisdom on achieving "positive health"—a concept still emerging in modern medicine. Authored by the eminent Vaidya Bhagwan Dash and the respected Ven. Doboom Tulku, this bilingual edition brings to light a Tibetan medical scripture from the Tanjur canon, translated for the first time with Sanskrit equivalents and English annotations.

This important work explores how health is not merely the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Rooted in Ayurvedic and Tibetan frameworks, it emphasizes daily (Dinacharya), nightly (Ratricharya), and seasonal (Ritucharya) regimens, diet, conduct, and preventive lifestyle practices that promote a long, purposeful, and disease-free life.

Key Highlights:

• Based on rare Tibetan scriptures, collated from Derge, Narthang, Peking, and Chinese editions.

• Sanskrit equivalents for Tibetan technical terms with Romanised script and English translation.

• Detailed discussion on the three doshas: vata, pitta, and kapha, without superficial Western analogues.

• Incorporates spiritual and ethical insights from both Indian and Tibetan traditions for holistic healing.

• Provides annotated footnotes, variant readings, and explanatory indices for researchers and scholars.

• Ideal for students of Ayurveda, Sowa Rigpa (Tibetan Medicine), Indology, Buddhist studies, and preventive medicine.

This volume is more than a medical text—it's a cultural bridge connecting ancient Indo-Tibetan health wisdom with the modern pursuit of integrative and preventive healthcare. A must-read for academics, practitioners, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of wellness rooted in timeless traditions.
