Dr. Nida Chanagtsang
Born in Amdo, northeastern Tibet, Dr. Nida Chenagtsang began his studies in Sowa Rigpa (Traditional Tibetan Medicine) locally and completed his medical degree at Lhasa Tibetan Medical University in 1996. Alongside his medical training, he studied Vajrayana Buddhism across all schools, with a focus on Longchen Nyingthig and Dudjom Tersar lineages. He received the complete Yuthok Nyingthig teachings—Tibetan Medicine’s unique spiritual lineage—and was entrusted to carry it forward by Jamyang Rinpoche of the Rebkong ngakpa/ma tradition.
A published poet and scholar, Dr. Nida has extensively researched ancient Tibetan healing methods and is highly acclaimed in both the East and West for reviving little-known traditional Tibetan external therapies. His writings on Sowa Rigpa and Tibetan spiritual healing have been widely translated.
He is the founder of the Sowa Rigpa Institute, Pure Land Farms, and Sorig Khang International, and co-founder of the International Ngakmang Institute. Dr. Nida teaches worldwide in over 40 countries.
