Some Thoughts on Health


When health is absent wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot become manifest, strength cannot be exerted, wealth is useless and reason is powerless. - Herophilies, 300 B.C.

The art of healing comes from nature and not from the physician. Therefore, the physician must start from nature with an open mind. – Paracelsus, 15th Century

Health is the proper relationship between microcosm, which is man, and the macrocosm, which is the universe. Disease is a disruption of this relationship. - Dr. Yeshe Donden, physician to the Dalai Lama

If I am not for myself, who will be; If I am only for myself, what am I; And if not now, when? – Hillel, Talmudic scholar, 1st Century BCE
