I have known Tenzin for a while now - perhaps since he joined the Medical school in Dharamshala. He stayed with us a few times when he came to visit his sponsors Gowri and Raju.

| Dr. Tenzin Dhundhup |
I have written about his journey from Tibet to India as a 14 year old, his schooling, his medical training, internship and finally his setting up his own clinic 'Tsojhe Kunphen Menkhang' in Mysuru. Tenzin has always been focused on healing people as much as he can and considers that his life mission.
Tenzin chose Mysuru as the place to set up his own clinic and started searching for the right place in earnest. So when he sent me pictures of the clinic, I was quite impressed. It was really good work - the clinic looks organised, clean, professional - exactly how Tenzin is as a person.

Tsojhe Kunphen Menkhang is the name of his clinic - which means “Clinic of Life-Sustaining Universal Benefit.”. Tenzin says that he is deeply honored that this name was personally blessed by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. He also explained the meaning of the clinic logo:
The Bowl – represents the alms bowl of Medicine Buddha, symbolizing the compassion of the Healing Buddha.
Water from the Bowl – water is regarded as the first medicine, and here it symbolizes pure water as well as the ambrosia of healing.
The Flower – represents Triphala and all other herbal medicines.
The Hands – symbolize the compassionate hands of Yuthok Yonten Gonpo, the father of Tibetan medicine.
The Bending Posture – expresses readiness to serve and help patients at all times.
The Rays of Light – represent the universal spread of the benefits of Tibetan medicine.
...
That's the thought behind the logo and the name. Tibetan Herbal Medicine offers holistic healing through herbal medicines which are natural herbal medicines which treat the root of the problem and looks to offer holistic health. Tibetan Medicine is one of the world's oldest medical systems. I have known many people I know who swear by it - specially cancer patients. The medicine cures the range of illnesses but to mention a few - asthma, arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, neuro issues, gynaec problems, psychosomatic illnesses, cancer among others.
The diagnosis, apart from any allopathic diagnosis one may have done, is done through the pulse and urine examination to give a holistic picture. Apart from the herbal medicine which is quite cheap, they also offer the Golden Needle Therapy, Moxa- Bustion, Bronze Cupping, Acupuncture etc to complement the treatment.
Tibetan Clinics are quite popular as alternative medicine systems all over India now and one can access them in all major cities and towns. That Tenzin has set up his own clinic in Mysuru is a wonderful thing because he makes it accessible to people of Mysuru.
Tenzin's clinic is having a grand opening on Sep 23, 2025. Do visit if you're in Mysuru. I am sure that Tenzin's clinic will be very successful and will provide healing and good health to thousands of people. My best wishes to you Tenzin.
