The book is a mix somewhere between textbook and narrative, owing to the fact that some of it was directly derived from talks the author gave. While the question/response portions of the book that come from these talks were definitely interesting, to say the least, I found the author's reliance on Tibetan terminology, without concurrent translation, an impediment to better understanding of Tibetan medicine. While the book might be a good primer for a Westerner with a foundation of knowledge about Tibetan medicine, I found it difficult to penetrate the author's technical descriptions of bodily functioning according to the Tibetan understanding.For example, the author references several categories and subsets of bodily humors (bile, phlegm, wind), but never describes these substances or analogizes them. He does talk about how they function within the body (this increases, that decreases, etc.), but it is otherwise difficult to comprehend what the author means by these rather obtuse terms, and consequently it is difficult to interrelate them with a Western understanding of the body.Dondhen's writing on the nature of being a physician I found enlightening; I felt like this chapter fulfilled the author's intent as named in the title. Otherwise, at least for a novitiate to Eastern medicine, I might choose another text with which to start. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THIS IS THE WAY *by K***7 on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2013* HEALING FROM THE SOURCE is a mastery of thousands of years of collective works. The saying; IF YOU CAN FEEL ITHEAL IT. As you read this work you can see it and feel it .Yeshi Dhonden is a Master of the study of LiFe as we DON'T know it IN WESTERN WORLD. And, We as a world should look more to the OLD worlds and studies for REAL MEDICINE.WESTERN DOCTORS are "practicing" what they have learned. They need to expand their scope of "practicing" and learn there is more power in the body, mind and spirit than in the power of the pen.
