Humla Medical Service Trip to Nepal ~ Wisdom and Compassion in Action With Tempa Dukte Sept. 26 – Oct. 8, 2014 Trip Cost: $3,400 US olmoling.org/contents/humla_medical_pilgrimage/ The Humla district of Nepal is one of the world’s most remote areas. Situated in the Northwest corner of the country, it borders Tibet to the North and India to the West. A land of incredible natural beauty and rich cultural diversity, the people of Humla have faced many challenges entering into the modern era. A lack of health care and education has created a cycle of poverty in many of the villages, making Humla one of the poorest districts in all of Nepal. The Humla Medical Service Trip offers the opportunity for doctors, nurses, acupuncturists, herbalists, chiropractors, massage therapists and lay people to share their wisdom and compassion through the delivery of no-cost, high quality health care. In mobile village clinics we will offer treatment to patients from the surrounding areas. Genye Tempa Dukte Lama, a native of the village of Torpa, one of the clinic sites, will support the group through daily teachings and meditation practices on wisdom and compassion in action from the Bon spiritual teachings of Sherab Jamma, the female Buddha of wisdom and love. This offers the medical practitioner an opportunity for spiritual renewal and growth. As wisdom and compassion are shared human aspirations, these teachings offer support to practitioners of all beliefs. By deepening the spiritual connection with our inner wisdom as practitioners, we will have more compassion and inner strength for the patients we will be treating in these village clinics. The trip also provides an opportunity for non-practitioners to experience meaningful human exchange through caring for one another. “For many of these villagers you will be giving them the treatment of their lifetime…They will remember your kindness and compassion for the rest of their lives.” —Tempa Lama.
