NIDA CHENAGTSANG \u003c\/strong\u003ebegan his early studies in Sowa Rigpa (Traditional Tibetan Medicine) at his local Tibetan Medicine hospital. He was later awarded a scholarship to attend the Lhasa Tibetan Medical University, where he completed his medical education in 1996, including practical training at Tibetan Medicine hospitals in Lhasa and Lhoka. Alongside his medical education, Dr. Nida trained in Vajrayana Buddhism with teachers from all schools of Tibetan Buddhism, particularly in the Longchen Nyingthig tradition of the Nyingma school under his root teacher, Ani Ngawang Gyaltsen, and in the Dudjom Tersar lineage under Chönyid Rinpoche and Sremo Dechen Yudron. He received the complete teachings of the Yuthok Nyingthig—the unique spiritual tradition of Tibetan Medicine—from Khenpo Tsultrim Gyaltsen and Khenchen Troru Tsenam, and was requested by Jamyang Rinpoche to continue the lineage within the Rebkong ngakpa\/ma tradition of non-monastic yogis and yoginis. A well-known poet in his youth, Dr. Nida has since published numerous articles and books on Sowa Rigpa and Yuthok Nyingthig in both Tibetan and English, with translations in several languages. He has extensively researched ancient Tibetan healing methods and is internationally recognized for reviving and transmitting lesser-known traditional external therapies. Dr. Nida is the founder and director of the Sowa Rigpa Institute of Tibetan Medicine, which offers comprehensive education in Sowa Rigpa and related traditions, and Sowa Rigpa Open University, an international network connecting practitioners, teachers, organizations, and communities worldwide. His work has also led to the establishment of numerous centers dedicated to Sowa Rigpa and Yuthok Nyingthig. He is co-founder of the International Ngakmang Institute, established to preserve and sustain the Rebkong ngakpa non-monastic yogic tradition within modern Tibetan society. In addition to his work as a physician, Dr. Nida continues to teach and train students in Sowa Rigpa, Yuthok Nyingthig, and Tibetan yogic traditions in more than forty countries around the world. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLIZ SUNG \u003c\/strong\u003eis a Yuthok Nyingthig practitioner under the guidance of her root teacher Dr. Nida Chenagtsang.
