Being Human in a Buddhist World: An Intellectual History of Medicine in Early Modern Tibet is a book by Janet Gyatso, published by Columbia University Press in 2015. The book explores the intersection of early modern Tibetan medicine and Buddhist thought. It sheds light on the adaptation of Buddhist concepts to medical concerns and their impact on Asian and global civilization. Gyatso's work analyzes Tibetan medical history, the relationship between scriptural and empirical authority, gender and sex in medicine, and the moral character of physicians. It offers insights into how Tibetan medical scholars absorbed Buddhist ethical and epistemological categories while embracing the imperfectability of the human condition.[1][2][3][4][5]
