The article discusses the author's experience in his study that aims to determine the difference between the standard Tibetan medicine, which is known as the "sman and glud" and the "gso ba rig pa." He notes that such methods were used in Nordzinling Tibetan settlement and Tashi Gyegay Thartenling Bonpo Medical School in Nepal. He observed that they used the Bum bzhi medical text and not the Buddhist rGyud bzhi. He suggests that proper healing techniques must be given to the patient's illness.
