The legacy of the late Dr. Tenzin Choedrak is being carried forward in
the United States. Well-known as the Senior Personal Physician to H.H. the
Dalai Lama, Dr. Choedrak was one of the most eminent masters of the
Tibetan medical tradition.
During his American tours, Dr. Choedrak selected a site in rural Spring
Green, Wisconsin where he envisioned Tibetan medicine could be offered to
those in need in conjunction with the Buddhist teachings of wisdom and
compassion. A Dharma Center had already been established on this pastoral
property owned by Marion and Duane Nelson. Today, Dr. Tenzin Dakpa, who
had served as the interpreter for Dr. Choedrak's foreign tours, is the
resident physician at the fully functioning "Medicine Buddha Healing
Center" in Spring Green. |
