Compassion as Remedy, written by Jampa Yonten and Kyle Weaner, offers readers a translation and commentary of an ancient Tibetan Buddhist text. This book not only provides insight into the essence of healing, but also offers healthcare practitioners guides on how to develop limitless compassion, which is essential considering the current healthcare crisis we face today.

This commentary on a 2,500-year-old Tibetan text, the rGyud-bZhi, known as the guiding treatise for Traditional Tibetan Medicine, is a revolutionary piece of literature about healthcare, ethics, and spiritual practice. Compassion as Remedy is a translation of “The Physician Chapter,” which helps readers understand the essence of healing while teaching healthcare practitioners how to develop compassion.

“The Physician Chapter” provides detailed instructions on moral development and the practice of compassion, which are of significant value to medical practitioners. This book includes suggestions for developing wisdom and compassion and provides guidelines for ethics by integrating healthcare with spiritual practice. The book showcases the unique features of Tibetan medicine and spiritual and meditation practice, making it one of the few accessible books in this field.

By integrating medicine with spirituality, Compassion as Remedy appeals to readers who are looking for holistic healing traditions, with organic, natural, and noninvasive remedies for alleviating suffering. Dr. Yonten, one of the book’s authors, includes examples from his clinical practice, which highlights the importance of cross-cultural perspectives and neuroscience in understanding the remedy of compassion.

According to His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, a teacher of Dr. Yonten, “The ideal physician is one who combines sound medical understanding with compassion and wisdom.” With this statement in mind, Compassion as Remedy serves as an excellent guide for healthcare practitioners, patients and readers interested in spiritual practice, and anybody curious about holistic healing traditions.
