Chagpori US offers free and paid literature, teachings and information on traditional Sowa Rigpa, The Healing Science of Tibet. Through these activities inside America, we support and help educate Tibetan Buddhist nuns (students from the trans Himalayan region) through the traditional medical education process.
Honoring the Chagpori Tibetan Medical lineage as it currently functions within Asia is a critical aspect to the work we do. Through our publication projects, your support and donations, we aid clinics and the infrastructure of the entire Chagpori Institute: College, Clinics and Pharmacy.
Within this medical lineage, Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and its interplay with the pathophysiology emphasis of the three root poisons becoming agents for health or disease is emphasized. It is the intention to continue this lineage throughout the USA as Tibetan Medicine explains to the West, as well as strengthen and support our roots in the East.

The late Very Venerable Dr. Trogawa Rinpoche, one of very few surviving doctors from the original Chagpori in trained in its traditional monastic system, worked for much of his life to see the lineage continued through re-establishing Chagpori in India.
Yangsi Rinpoche is in process of completing his monastic studies and then will begin to retrain in medicine.
When Nashalla offers teachings both on medicine and on Buddhism, proceeds are donated directly to Chagpori US which then funds worthy projects in India’s Chagpori Tibetan Medical Institute.
