If we want to make the conference on Tibetan Medicine as a historical acclaim, we must turn our head back and find out the footprints laid by the First International Conference on Tibetan Medicine. It was held in 727 A.D. at Samyay under the ageist of King Trisong Deutsen. It was maybe the longest conference that had been conducted, as it involved in deciding the undecided principles through analytic debates and experimental observations, not just paper presentations. Finally, it composed a book called "Fearless Weapon', which was comprised of sublime wisdom acquired from China, India and Persia.
In 1998, so-called "First International Congress on Tibetan Medicine" was held at Washington for three days. Its proclamation failed as the First International Conference on TM already held in Tibet. In this case, it would be the Second International Conference on Tibetan Medicine, and the upcoming conference 2012 would be the third.
If we want to proclaim the upcoming conference as second international conference on Tibetan Medicine, we should be able to invite scholars from around the world and able to collect conclusive essence obtained through panel discussions. For instance, the origin of Tibetan Medicine should be debated and decided " Tibetan Medicine evolves from the civilization of Tibet". Taking into account all matters, three-day is not enough.
Moreover, same topics such as history of Tibetan Medicine, about research, there are no more precise topics and presentations. Why there is no topic like whether Youthok Yondon Gonpo composed Gyueshi or not, and having Bon traditional speaker, Ayurvedic speaker, speakers from Tibet, and rest of the countries, on this particular topic
If the undecided remains undecided, it will not be the second international conference on Tibetan Medicine.
