Impressions of Wellbeing Tibetan Medical Camp August 5. – 7. 2015 at Sylviander House

3 days Wellbeing program with the tibetan team from Bangalore, the 4.Tibetan Medical Camp at Sylviander House and the 45th in Kerala! 



As usual Friendsoftibet founder Sethu Das and campaigner Eswar Anandan already arrive a day before, bringing organic rice and organic vegetables for our meals. 


Next early morning Eswar welcomes the tibetan team at the railway station of Alappuzha. 

This time the team is:
Dr. Dorjee Rapten Neshar
Dr. Lhundup Dorjee
Yeshi Chodon
Tenzin Nangsel
Tenzin Dhonden


After all preparations are done, the tibetan team has breakfast and then doing the morning prayer in Dr.Dorjee‘s room as every morning before consultation starts … Already the first patients have arrived …


Lilama as always during the Camp is busy in the kitchen preparing the vegetarian meals. 


This time we have another patient, our cat boy Rosso woke up with lame back legs. I gave him a homeo remedy and few hours later he could walk again and then even jumped happily in the garden … 


Mornings and in the afternoons there is a tea break with tiffins, prepared and brought by Varghese, our brother in law, who has a tea shop nearby … 


We all come together in the kitchen for a short time of relaxation …


The 3 days Wellbeing Camp goes on smoothly, more than hundred patients come for consultation and getting tibetan medicines … 


Everybody is enjoying the meals, Lilama has cooked … 


On the 2nd day, the 6th of August, I suddenly remember, that 10 years before somewhen in August 2005 I had consulted and met Dr. Dorjee the very first time at the Tibetan Medical Center Men-Tsee-Khang in Bangalore. That time I had suffered breast cancer and was looking for alternative medicine. Curiously I have a look into my green book, which everybody gets as a patient of tibetan medicine. My first consultation was the 6th of August 2005! 


6.8.2005 - 6.8.2015 … Today for 10 years we know Dr.Dorjee thanks to Sethu Das. 


On the 3rd day, 7th of August, the highlight is the birthday of Eswar. For his wake up during sunrise I play the Cat Stevens beautiful song »Morning has broken …« And while the song is playing a magic moment happens: the first golden sunlight hit the tree top in the garden …


After lunch we have excellent Payasam, prepared by Lilama, with a chocolate cake from campaigner Victoria, who unfortunately had to leave the evening before. 


Everybody comes together in the kitchen and before having Payasam and cake I present Eswar my special gift, a european / french style happy birthday felicitation with 3 kisses: friendship, justice, freedom! 


Of course, this little performance was a big fun … 


After everybody took picture, we enjoy the delicacies … 


While the tibetan team is packing and preparing to leave back to Bangalore, Sethu has a nap in the garden, silently watched over his sleep by his good friend Simba … 


Still there is some time until the rickshaws will come to pick up the tibetan team … 


… let‘s have some fun on the verandah … 


Dorjee la himself sings and directs a tibetan opera …


… with Khatha honor for the birthday boy Eswar performed by Yeshi Chodon and Tenzin Nangsel … 


Then Dorjee la wants to hear some rhythmic music …


… to have a dance with the birthday boy … 


… and we all are watching with joy … 



Finally Dorjee la insists to see, what we have trained the day before … 


… stretching exercises while dancing with music to strengthen body and mind for activating self healing energies. This was my very good help beside tibetan medicine when I had breast cancer. For the time of dancing with music I could forget all my miseries and experience just joy and happiness, which as we know is very important for healing …
I know, Dr.Dorjee tells to his patients again and again: open your heart, enjoy life …


Next Wellbeing Camp will take place in September 2015.
