Welcome to Pure Land Farms named after Tanaduk, the Pure Land of the Medicine Buddha

We offer courses and workshops in the subjects of Tibetan Medicine, Buddhism, yoga, and rejuvenation, and group practices and small retreats in the Yuthok Nyingthig lineage, the unique spiritual tradition of Tibetan Medicine.

We are home of the Sowa Rigpa Institute: School of Tibetan Medicine founded by Dr. Nida Chenagtsang

In addition we offer diverse programming in the fields of music, traditional arts and culture through Yangchenma Arts & Music.

In the spirit of Yuthok Yönten Gönpo, the father of Tibetan Medicine and great non-sectarian teacher, we welcome students and practitioners of all lineages.
