The differences between Zen Medicine, Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine 中医西医禅医之分别 (上） by Wu Jing Shu Cha 无境书茶 Since Healthy China remarked recently, the fate of the Traditional Chinese medicine will be undoubtedly changed, people will return to the way of benefiting Chinese Medicine. Ultimately, people’s awareness will be comprehensively transformed due to this, especially the understanding of disease will be completely changed, thereafter human’s understanding of life will be enhanced and upgraded. In fact, Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine is only two different concept and description. Many western doctorson Chinese medicine research have been very in depth and comprehensive, whereas many doctors in China are still undervaluing our own things. The fundamental difference between Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine is how to understand the disease. Chinese Medicine takes the diseaseas a reminder of life, not the enemy, so it emphasizes the symptom of disease,but is not anxious to define the disease. No matter what disease the patient is carrying, many well-known Chinese Medicine doctor just look at your State. In those doctors’eyes, there is no concept of ‘cancer’, cancer is just the more severe symptom showed by the patient, even there is no concept of disease in the eyes of these Chinese Medicine doctors. Rather than Chinese Medicine is the understanding of Disease, in fact, it is the interpretation of Life. All the records prove that since ancient time, Chinese Culture Masters, like Mr. Nan Huaijin, are Chinese Medicine Masters. Many of these Masters both in Culture and Doctor directly interpret Chinese Medicine by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which are alltelling what is life. Therefore, WUJING SHUCHA tea house chooses one of classic Confucianism book ZHONGYONG to explain the fundamental theory of Zen Chinese medicine. The fundamental doctrinal source for Chinese Medicine Huangdi Neijing, literally Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor teaches us how to face and live the life and how to handle and treat the life by ourselves. Once the doctor, as the profession, tends to be stable, Chinese Medicine begins to bias how to balance their own body and practise more and more on Yin –Yang and five elements – Wu Xing, though this is the way to show lifes. However, the Chinese Medicine has always believed that the strongest healing ability of life belongs to the patients themselves, and it encourages various methods to balance the body to stimulate original self-healing capability. After long historical trace, the Chinese Medicine is developed as a body-balanced therapy, but not focus on spirit part as much as original. Thus, today’s Chinese medicine has been bounded with traditional Chinese medicine recipe, acupuncture, shiasu, andcupping, instead of relation with spirit and soul. Therefore, WUJING SHUCHA is trying to clarify the concept between the Chinese Medicine and Zen Medicine. Zen Medicine could be explained as causal therapy that a person’s spiritual and conscious is the root cause of his orher disease, this traced back to the ancient Chinese medicine philosophy accordingly. Disease is the best path to realize who you are. We commit to promote the Zen Medicine to let people recognize themselves, reconsider what is disease, and have a better happiness life. We established a brand ZHONGHEJINGSHE to develop Zen Medicine. Our vision: ZHONGHE JINGSHE, where you return to happiness. 无境书茶疾病与生命系列 || 中医西医禅医之分别，兼论拍打等技法与自然疗法（节选）上自习大提出《健康中国》以来，中医的命运毫无疑问将会被改变，人类将重启受益中医之路。最终人们的意识会因此而全面改变，尤其对于疾病的认识将全面改变，进而人类对于生命的认识由此整体提升。 其实中医和西医只是一个用以区分的概念和说法，许多西方的医生对中医的研究已经非常深入，反而是中国大部分医生还在看低自己的东西。 中西医根本分别在于其对于“疾病”的理解。 中医对于“疾病”没有敌意，只是看做一个对生命的提醒，所以中医强调疾病的症状，而不急于给疾病一个定义。许多知名中医不管你是什么病，只看你的状态，所以在他们眼中没有所谓癌症的概念，癌症只是症状重一点而已，甚至在这些中医眼里也没有疾病的概念。 与其说中医是对疾病的理解，其实不如说其是对“生命”的诠释。 仔细研究你会发现，中国自古以来文化大成者都是中医高手，当代的如南怀瑾。许多人更是用儒释道经典直接诠释中医，因为这些经典一样都是在诠释生命，而茶馆讲述的禅医也是直接以《中庸》为基础。 中医自《黄帝内经》开始都是教我们如何对待生命、如何对待自己的人生。 只是到最后医生这个职业趋于稳定之后，中医开始偏于如何平衡自己的身体了，对阴阳和五行研究实践增多，虽然这也是生命展现的方式。 但中医始终相信生命最大的治愈能力在于患者自身，借由各种方法达到患者身体平衡以激发其自愈功能。 长期发展下来中医对身体关注多了一些，对“心灵”开始关注少了一些。传统中医渐渐变成了一种身体“平衡疗法”。 于是，今天“中医”的概念已经完全和“中药”“针灸”“指压”“拔罐”等技术绑在一起了，和心灵的关系趋弱。 因此，茶馆才将“禅医”与“中医”概念区分出来。而究其实际而言，强调“因果疗法”（寻求心灵之病因）的禅医就是古代中医的思想，即一个人的心灵状态是其疾病的根本原因。 茶馆说：疾病是认识自己的最佳途径。基于此，茶馆致力于推广禅医，让人们重新对待疾病，重新认识自己，从而快乐生活。 茶馆实践禅医的品牌“中和精舍”有句话：中和精舍，一个快乐的所在。 文中图片来自缘士林禅院 翻译 | 境守拙 翻译校对 | 境亦彤 文字编辑 校对 | 境亦彤 境守拙  开启禅意生活 经典文章 | 活动课程 | 预约禅医 信息来源：缘士林禅院、无境书茶馆、 |
