Director's Message

It is my privilege to share a message as we continue our collective journey in preserving and promoting the rich tradition of Sowa Rigpa—an ancient, holistic medical system that embodies the wisdom of healing through balance and harmony. Rooted deeply in the cultural and spiritual heritage of the Himalayan region, Sowa Rigpa offers timeless solutions for the well-being of humanity. In this era of rapid modernization, the relevance of Sowa Rigpa has only grown stronger. Its principles of integrating body, mind, and spirit resonate with global efforts to achieve sustainable health and wellness. As we strive to preserve this profound heritage, we also embrace innovation and collaboration to adapt its knowledge for modern healthcare needs while maintaining its authenticity and integrity. Our institute remains committed to advancing research, education, and awareness of Sowa Rigpa on both national and international platforms. This endeavor would not be possible without the dedication of practitioners, researchers, and supporters who share our vision. Together, let us continue to honor the essence of Sowa Rigpa and ensure its timeless legacy flourishes as a source of healing for generations to come. With warm regards and gratitude.
