Dear Friends and Fellow Practitioners,

We are writing to let you know about new and exciting events coming up here
at the Shang Shung School of Traditional Tibetan Medicine. The first class
of students has just started its second year and is currently studying pulse
diagnosis, the largest and deepest section of diagnosis in the ancient
medical texts, which includes the “Seven Amazing Pulses” of divination and
all of the pathological pulses.


We are currently accepting applications (www.shangshung.org) for the
incoming class, the second to date, to embark on our four-year journey of
the first-of-its-kind complete training in Traditional Tibetan Medicine in
the West. We have also thought of those who may not be quite ready for a
journey of such length, and below you will find information on the monthly
series “Tibetan Medicine for Everyone”. These talks will cover the main
topics and ideas in Tibetan medicine, and will take place on the third
Friday of every month at our Northampton healing center, where Tibetan
medicine consultations and Kunye massage sessions are offered on a regular
ongoing basis. Dr. Phuntsog Wangmo, the director of the Shang Shung School
of Traditional Tibetan Medicine, will be the main speaker of the series: her
first lecture, Life Stories of a Doctor from the Land of Snow, will be based
on Dr. Wangmo’s personal experience of practicing medicine in the mountains
of Tibet. We invite you all to join us for this wonderful introductory
class, and we include here below the complete schedule for the series.


Dr. Wangmo also travels around New England to spread knowledge and awareness
about the healing traditions of Tibet. Last weekend Dr. Wangmo gave a short
teaching on The Dharma in the Eyes and Actions of the Tibetan Physician at
“The Many Flavors of the Dharma”, held at Smith College in Northampton. In
her presentation, she shared on the unique code of conduct for Tibetan
Physicians, based on unconditional compassion for all suffering people. Next
weekend Dr. Wangmo will participate in the TibetFest in Connecticut.
