His Eminence Ponlop Trinley Nyima Rinpoche\u2019s Chharka Clinic Project<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Menri Ponlob Trinley Nyima Rinpoche<\/strong>\u00a0is the principal instructor at Menri Monastery in Dolanji, India. He was born in 1962 in the Dolpo region of north-western Nepal in the remote Himalayan village of Chharka.\u00a0 He is the successor of Yongzin Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche. Rinpoche\u2019s family name is \u201cYangton\u201d which traces its ancestry back to Yangton Sherab Gyaltsen, born in 1077. A famous Dzogchen and Tantric master, Yangton Sherab Gyaltsen was the first to set in writing the Dzogchen Experiential Transmission (Zhang Zhung Nyam Gyud). This revered teaching is taught today by Menri Lopon as well as other well known B\u00f6n masters.<\/p>\n

[vc_column_text]We invite you to support the clinic in Tsarka (Chharka), the home village of Menri Ponlop Rinpoche, which is located in Upper Dolpo, Nepal.<\/p>\n

Upper Dolpo is the most remote and least developed district in Nepal. \u00a0It is cut off from the rest of Nepal by a series of high mountain passes and closed by snow most of the year. \u00a0Upper Dolpo shelters nearly 6,000 people of Tibetan descent, whose lives revolve around Buddhism, Bon, barley and yaks. \u00a0Most of the villages are over 14,000 feet, making them among the highest settlements on earth. \u00a0The Nepali government has restricted travel to the region to protect the culture and environment.<\/p>\n

Lack of healthcare has always been a serious problem. Before our Clinic opened, the infant mortality rate was over 50%, with maternal mortality at more than 25%. Simple medications were nearly impossible to get, and infections from minor cuts and scrapes often led to amputation or death. The closest medical support was 100 miles away across the mountains. This journey must be done on foot, since the route is little more than a goat trail on the side of a mountain. As a result, most illnesses and injuries went untreated.<\/p>\n

At the request of the local villagers and nomads who have never had medical care of any sort, Menri Lopon Trinley Nyima Rinpoche, a native of Upper Dolpo and head instructor at Menri Monastery in northern India, and with the help of many generous donors, has built, supplied and staffed a medical clinic in his home village.<\/p>\n

The Tsaga Clinic provides free healthcare to anyone in Upper Dolpo. It is located 6 miles from the southern border of Tibet in the village of Tsaga (aka Chaarka). The clinic opened in 2012. On-going financial support is needed to provide a salary for our nurses, provide medical supplies and equipment, and for the ongoing operation of the clinic. There are plans to provide solar energy and fresh running water to the building. A new roof was put on the building in 2018.<\/p>\n

New nurse, Yangzom Lama, is from another village in the Humla region. She is well trained in western medicine and has been working in Kathmandu. All the nurses who have worked at the clinic have, in turn, given basic training in first aid and hygiene to the nomads, so that we can \u201cpay it forward\u201d for generations to come.<\/p>\n

The clinic is on the grounds of the Yangg\u00f6n Thongdr\u00f6l Phuntsokling Monastery and is being run under the supervision of the monastery.<\/p>\n

With your help, the lives of the people of Dolpo will be greatly improved. Your donation to the Tsarka Clinic Fund will help bring basic health care to the region and make people’s dreams a reality.<\/p>\n

The international fundraising campaign is run by volunteers, we will gratefully accept the smallest amount and your entire donation will go directly to the clinic.<\/p>\n

The Foundation is collaborating on this project with Kyungdzong Wodsel Ling<\/a>, the organisation that initiated the charity in Tsarka.<\/p>\n

We will donate all the funds raised to Kyungdzong Wodsel Ling.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Donations should be directed to the Foundation’s account with the title: Donation – Chharka Clinic Project<\/p>\n
