In this insightful episode of the Yo San University 39 Gen podcast, we welcome doctoral program faculty member Sabine Wilms, a sinologist and medical historian, along with Leo Lok, a clinician scholar of Chinese medicine, to explore the teachings of the 7th-century medical sage, Sun Simiao. The discussion delves into the nuances of Sun Simiao's philosophy, particularly focusing on the concept of "Yangxing" or nurturing one's inner nature. Sabine and Leo share their deep knowledge of ancient Chinese medicine, emphasizing the importance of balance, moderation, and the integration of spiritual and physical practices in achieving holistic well-being. The conversation highlights how Sun Simiao's teachings remain profoundly relevant today, offering timeless wisdom on living in harmony with one's nature, and how modern practitioners can apply these principles in their clinical practices. As Yo San University is founded on the principles of Taoism and self-cultivation, this episode is especially relevant to our students and alumni. It is both a masterclass in ancient wisdom and a personal reflection on how these teachings can transform lives.
