The focus of the work at the Ligmincha of Texas Institute in Houston is Tibetan medicine and East-West psychology. With recent public interest in mind-body connection and alternative forms of healing, the Ligmincha Institute strives to serve a powerful role as a resource and education center to bridge the gap between eastern and western traditions of medicine and psychology.
Our founder and director, Lama Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, is a Bonpo Lama who has been educated in the four schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Rinpoche is forming collaborative relationships with physicians and psychotherapists in order to develop innovative healing strategies to deal with pain and depression. The wisdom of the Tibetan healing traditions, meditation practices and Dzogchen teachings offered by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will provide an opportunity for individuals to explore and enhance their health and well-being.
The Ligmincha of Texas Institute is one of three that have grown out of the Charlottesville Ligmincha Institute for the study of the Religions and Culture of Tibet, which was also established by Tenzin Rinpoche with the blessing of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
