Who We Are

We are a registered 501c3 Charitable Religious Organization since 1986. Tax ID #84-100605

Our mission is to help spread, preserve and promote the spiritual aspects within the Sowa Rigpa Traditional Tibetan Medical System.

We offer 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.
