JIVAKA - the buddhist roots

The patron of YESHE NUAD massage is Jivaka Kumara Baccha( Shivago Komarpaj), who is said in the Pāli Buddhist Canon to have been the Buddha’s physician over 2500 years ago. Traditionally, all courses and treatments of YESHE NUAD start from invocation to him. As historical sources do confirm, Jivaka indeed became a fully realized master and an incredible physician too. Thus he became the personal physician of the Buddha and also became responsible for the medical care of the entire Buddhist sangha.

Since Jivaka was never ordained and due to the fact that he had a close connection with the Buddha he naturally became the head of lay practitioners in the early days of the Buddhist sangha.

Up to the present time Jivaka´s inheritance has been kept alive in many countries such as India, China, Japan, Thailand and Tibet. Generally it is possible to diagnose that whenever the teachings of the Buddha were spread and taken over by open-minded people also the methods of his physician, Jivaka Kumara Bhaccha, were discovered by many of these practitioners.
