University Open Air: Tibetan Self-Healing Massage and Mantra Healing

Sat, Apr 26 2025
12:30 pm – 2:30 pm
Library for Arts & Culture

BPL Presents humanities and art University Open Air


We are burning out with our busy city life! Our body and mind need healing but no time to go for a massage! Here is an opportunity to learn how to do self-massage (a little-known Tibetan self-massage method using your breath and hands) and mantra healing meditation to energize the body and heal our physical and mental burnouts. In this session, Dr. Chok will teach these two methods and review the nine-round breathings for purifying the stale energies before teaching the self-healing massage.

He will end the session with a guided meditation. 
 

Notes: If possible, come with an empty stomach. If not, at least, do not eat a heavy lunch. Wear light and comfortable clothing, and please bring your yoga mat or something on which you lie down.

Dr. Chok Tenzin Monlam has dedicated his career to the continuance of Tibetan Buddhist culture and language in modern society. Ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, he studied and practiced as a Tibetan monk for ten years. Having advanced his studies through institutions for two decades, Dr. Chok has obtained multiple degrees in Buddhist and Tibetan studies, including his PhD from the University of Delhi. He has studied and trained for decades in Buddhist studies, Tibetan yoga, healing, and meditation under the direction of many renowned Tibetan teachers of the major and minor Tibetan Buddhist traditions. An author, translator, and language instructor, Dr. Chok served as the Head of the Research and Translation Department at the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives in Dharamsala for thirteen years before relocating to the United States in 2019. Dr. Chok has taught prolifically in India, the United States, and over a dozen other countries, offering diverse and inclusive teaching series on meditation, Tibetan yoga, healing, Buddhist philosophy, and Tibetan language.
