I’m not ready to commit to a Four Year program in Tibetan medicine, what other options does the Shang Shung Institute offer?
Parallel to the Four-Year Program there are intensive courses and talks on Tibetan Medicine that are open to the public. Past intensive courses that have been offered include Tibetan Astrology, Tibetan Herbal Medicine, and Traditional Tibetan Kunye Massage. There is a three level program in Kunye massage that introduces students to the basic theory and practice of Tibetan medicine with an emphasis on Tibetan massage. Participants in Kunye Level I and II are eligible to receive PDA credits through NCCAOM. You can view the curriculum of the Kunye course under the Medicine Program tab. In addition to the courses and talks open to the public, individuals can also purchase MP3 collections of previous courses taught at the Shang Shung Institute and by Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche on Tibetan Medicine.
