The Art of Healing with Steam in the Tibetan Tradition
Geshe Dennyi & Amchi Nyima
June 29, 2025 - July 3, 2025
The theme of Amchi Nyima’s teaching is particularly noteworthy: a detailed introduction to Tibetan medicinal baths, commonly known as Lum, recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Geshe Dennyi will continue his teaching on the causes of illness, focusing this year on the karmic origins of disease and the methods for preventing them.
We are delighted to announce the return of Amchi Nyima and Geshe Dennyi to Shenten Dargye Ling! They have kindly agreed to teach again this year, much to our joy.
The topic presented by Amchi Nyima is particularly valuable: he will offer an in-depth introduction to medicinal baths (Tibetan: བདུད་རྩི་ལྔ་ལུམས་; Wylie: bdud rtsi lnga lums), according to traditional Tibetan medicine. These are commonly referred to as Lum (Tibetan: ལུམས།; Wylie: lums).
Recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, Lum offer a unique and rich field of knowledge—one you will have the opportunity to explore directly under the guidance of an experienced master.
In the morning, Amchi Nyima will explain in detail:
the methods of steam bath application,
how the treatment is administered,
the most appropriate seasons for the therapy,
as well as the necessary precautions and care during the course of treatment.
In the afternoon, Geshe Dennyi will continue his teaching on the causes of illness. This year, he will focus on karmic causes and traditional Tibetan methods for preventing imbalances and preserving health.
