There are distinctive issues with respect to aetiology in Tibetan medical theory, where initial causation of diseases is
examined together with the formation of the human being, which can give a general idea of the causation of disease. In addition, we may logically analyse various other causes, such as internal and external causes or genetic causes. Furthermore, showing different methods for classifying disease, we can explain the difference between curable and incurable diseases in relation to original causes. In this paper, I analyze some debates on these issues, using real examples or comparisons between different medical systems, to explain how Tibetan medicine understands the cause of disease.
