Tibetan Medicine Classes

[ETokar]

The New York Botanical Garden Presents:

TIBETAN MEDICINE: A 4 part course taught by Eliot Tokar

Based on the centuries old Buddhist study of the mind - and directly
influenced by the ancient medical science of India, Persia, Greece, and
China - Tibetan medicine offers a unique understanding of healing from a
spiritual and ecological perspective. The integrity of body and mind is a
basic assumption of Tibetan medical science, the practice of which
requires
that physicians cultivate their minds - through meditation and study - to
clearly understand the inter relation of the psychological and physical
aspects of health.
Eliot Tokar will draw on over a decade of study and apprenticeship with
some
of Tibet's most highly esteemed senior practitioners to present this
series
introducing this ancient medical system which embodies the compassion and
wisdom of the Buddha of Healing.

Eliot Tokar has been a student of Tibetan medicine since 1983, studying
first with Dr. Yeshi Dhonden, and for the past seven years as an
apprentice
of Dr. Trogawa Rinpoche. He also has training in Chinese medicine and
acupuncture and Macrobiotics and its related Japanese natural therapies.

He maintains a practice in New York City.

To be held at the The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY:
Saturdays, Nov 2, 9, 16, 23.
And in Manhattan at Rockefeller University: Mondays Nov 4, 11, 18, 25.
