Tibetan Medical Centre Chodrak Monastery has a small medical centre that is run by three resident lamas who practise traditional Tibetan medicine. The monks and Chodrak residents have access to traditional medical treatment, which mainly consists of herbal remedies, meditation and spiritual healing. The lamas rely on pulse diagnosis as their main diagnostic tool. There is also a small pharmacy that dispenses Tibetan medicine. The Chodrak Monastery Medical Centre is of the utmost importance to the residents of Chodrak because of the crisis in medical treatment for the residents of remote areas of Kham. This crisis has been succinctly describes by a Western volunteer health worker in eastern Tibet: ‘The remote clinics have never been able to provide
more than the most basic treatment, but that treatment was at least free in the
early Communist decades when they were set up. No more: as china’s public
services struggle to clear long standing debts, the cost of health care is
spiralling. City entrepreneurs have money, state employees have some basic
health insurance. Tibetan farmers and nomads don’t, and untold numbers die
each year from curable diseases. Tibetan people live in tough conditions in a predominantly cold climate at high altitude, with limited food resources. The main health problems include arthritis, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes which largely remain undetected die to lack of modern diagnostic tools and health screening programmes. The medical workers at Chodrak Monastery provide treatment to the residents of Chodrak at heavily subsidised rates, thus offering a means of alleviating disease that they could not otherwise afford. Without the monastery’s subsidies, the majority of people would be forced to forego any medical treatment.

With no cash income, there is no money to pay even 10 or 20 Chinese yuan for medical treatment. In December, 2004, Venerable Lama Karma Rabten, the Vajra Master of Chodrak Monastery, wrote to Venerable Sonam Tenzin Rinpoche, seeking his assistance in establishing a free medical clinic that would provide treatment to those in the outlying areas of Chodrak, who either could not reach the monastery or afford to pay the minimal charges for medicine. Prior to completing seven years in secluded retreat, Venerable Lama Karma Rabten studied traditional Tibetan and Chinese medicine and modern medical practice for ten years. It was during his meditative retreat that Venerable Lama Karma Rabten had the realisation of the need for his compassionate activity to benefit the most deprived people of this region of Kham. For four years, Venerable Lama Karma Rabten has been running his free clinic by himself, using his personal funds to purchase medicine and cover his travelling costs. He is in dire need of assistance if he to be able to continue his invaluable work for the people of Kham. Venerable Sonam Tenzin Rinpoche has undertaken to provide any assistance that he can. Any financial assistance that you may be able to offer Venerable Lama Karma Rabten would be received with heartfelt gratitude.
