ABOUT DOCTOR TSERING CHOZOM

An accomplished practitioner, this renowned yet humble physician of traditional Tibetan medicine began his medical training with Dr. Khyendrab Norbu, studying the Mentsikhang lineage of Tibetan medicine at the Tibetan Medical Institute. At the age of 17, Dr. Tsering began his apprenticeship with Lama Kunga Tsewang in Riwoche, Tibet, studying and training in the lineage of Mipham Rinpoche. Since his Master’s passing in 1997, Dr. Tsering has lived and practiced in Pharping, Nepal serving as primary physician to many great Buddhist masters of this age, including His Holiness Jadral Rinpoche, His Eminence Namkha Drimed Rinpoche and His Eminence Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, as well as the local community at large.

Dr. Tsering Chozom combines sound medical understanding with a true realization of compassion and wisdom. The Venerable Lama Chödak Gyatso Nubpa Rinpoche invited Dr. Tsering to Los Angeles for the first time in 2004. This is Dr. Tsering’s fifth visit to the United States and Ari Bhöd is honored to host his return.
