Sky Press 10-Year Anniversary
Celebrating a Decade of Sowa Rigpa Publications
November 7 - 8 2026
With Dr. Nida Chenagtsang, Sky Press Team & Special Guests
Founded in the Fire Monkey year of 2016 by Dr. Nida Chenagtsang, traditional Tibetan physician, author, and lineage holder of the Yuthok Nyingthig, Sky Press has established itself as one of the leading publishers on traditional Tibetan healing practices. Over the past decade, its catalog of books and translations has brought these teachings to students, practitioners, and general readers around the world. As the publishing branch of the Sowa Rigpa Institute of Tibetan Medicine, Sky Press is devoted to preserving and transmitting Yuthok Yönten Gönpo's two heart treasures: Sowa Rigpa, offering a complete path to health, and the Yuthok Nyingthig, the spiritual heart of Tibetan medicine and a direct path to awakening.
This year, in Yuthok's auspicious Fire Horse year, Sky Press celebrates ten years of bringing these precious teachings into the world. We invite you to join us in honoring this work and sharing aspirations for the years ahead.
This special anniversary gathering brings together teachings by Dr. Nida, a book fair and signings, music, meditation, and a gathering of sangha at Tanauduk Gardens.
Save the date, detailed schedule coming soon.
Dr. Nida Chenagtsang
Born in Amdo, in Northeastern Tibet, Dr. Nida began his early studies of Sowa Rigpa at the local Tibetan medical hospital. Later, he was awarded a scholarship to enter the Lhasa Mentseekhang or Tibetan Medical University, where he completed his degree in 1996, with practical training at the Tibetan Medicine hospitals in Lhasa and Lhoka.
Alongside his medical education, Dr. Nida trained in Vajrayana with teachers from every school of Tibetan Buddhism. In particular, he trained in the Longchen Nyingthig tradition of the Nyingma school with his root guru Ani Ngawang Gyaltsen and in the Dudjom Tersar tradition with Chönyi Rinpoche and Semo Dechen Yudrön. He received complete instruction in the Yuthok Nyingthig lineage, the unique spiritual tradition of Tibetan Medicine, from his teachers Khenpo Tsultrim Gyaltsen and Khenchen Troru Tsenam, and was requested to continue the Yuthok Nyingthig lineage by Jamyang Rinpoche of the Rebkong ngakpa and ngakma community.
A well-known poet in his youth, Dr. Nida later published many articles and books on Sowa Rigpa and the Yuthok Nyingthig tradition in Tibetan and English, which have been translated into several languages. He has extensively researched ancient Tibetan healing methods, and has gained acclaim in East and West for his revival of little-known Tibetan external therapies.
