The clinic opens to everyone 3 days a week, providing Tibetan and Western medicine, Acupuncture, education, and occasional specialty medical camps. Khenpo Chönyi, the manager of Thrangu Tashi Yangtse Monastery, has stated that the clinic is “almost out of budget’’ and has requested our assistance in continuing to provide this much needed humanitarian activity. Thrangu Rinpoche visited Lama Sonam The monthly budget varies a bit depending on patient numbers and needs, as who well isasin life retreat at Namo Buddha. in Nepal, however, we do have an estimate of a minimum of $2,400.00 a month (rounded-up).
