Patch Adam's
Ten Questions to Help Heal Society:
Take 10 and Call Me in the Morning!
These 10 Questions are Patch Adams' prescription for helping to heal society. Ayurveda, being the Science of Life which hugs all aspects of life, sees the importance of these questions to a healthy society.
1. If no one wants to end up in a nursing home, what kind of community can celebrate all ages together and honor elders?
2. Could you choose at least one child you're not related to and give them the time and care they need?
3. If compassion and generosity were the measure of success that money and power are now, how would your life change?
4. In order to bond your neighborhood in healthy interdependence you would need to host weekly potlucks. Would you?
5. If being publicly joyful, even silly, were beneficial for our society, would you participate?
6. If you have rooms at your home, why not take in single parents as a gift?
7. How can we move to an economics of friendship?
8. Could you do ten or more volunteer hours each week to make a healthier world?
9. Do you dare to be universally friendly to end violence?
10. Can you match the cost of everything you buy with a donation to an environmental sustainability project?

Jinpa "Studied" Humor in Healing with Patch Adams, M.D.
Patch Adams, M.D. and his Gesundheit! Institute team (www.patchadams.org) were Jinpa’s most recent teachers at UCSF’s 4-day conference on “Humor in Healing”.
Our Healing Services: House-calls or In-Clinic
Inspired by the friendly “Clown Bodhisattva” energy of his role model Patch Adams, Jinpa is offering “house-calls” – just like the traditional “country doctor” of yesteryear, both Jinpa and Vijaya are able to visit you directly at your home or office for a health consultation or Ayurvedic massage rather than you having to come to the Medicine Buddha Healing Center or the Medicine Buddha Healing Center. Offering House-calls supports Patch's and our philosophy of:
"Bringing
fun, friendship, and
the joy of service back into healthcare."
“The healer who regards kindness to
humanity as his supreme religion and treats his patients accordingly,
succeeds best in achieving his aims of life and obtains the greatest
pleasure.”
-- from Charaka, honored 2nd century B.C. Ayurvedic Physician
Although Jinpa studied Ayurvedic, Tibetan and Chinese Medicine, he also encourages his clients at the Medicine Buddha Healing Center and at the Medicine Buddha Healing Center in San Francisco to follow the advice of his other teacher, Dr. Patch Adams, M.D. of the Gesundheit! Institute. Dr. Patch suggests a daily dosage of the following:
