Chagpori Tibetan Medical Institute (Darjeeling, India)
The Chagpori Medical College was first established in 1696 as a center for training in traditional Tibetan medicine (Sowa Rigpa). After the monastery was destroyed in 1959, it was restarted in 1992 by Dr. Trogawa Rinpoche in Darjeeling, India, to preserve the Chagpori system of medicine.
