The International
Shang Shung Institute was founded in Italy in 1989
by Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, and inaugurated in 1990
by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. It's aim is to
deepen the knowledge and understanding of Tibetan
cultural traditions in order to ensure their
survival and preservation. The International
Institute currently has three main branches,
located in Italy, Austria, and the USA, which work
together as one to promote all initiatives to this
end.
The Shang Shung Institute of America was founded in 1994, and it is located in Conway, Massachusetts at Tsegyalgar East. It's achievements include: an extensive library of educational resources on Tibetan culture, an onsite and online bookstore full of materials on Tibetan culture and the Dzogchen Teachings of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, and many public programs and courses on Tibetan Culture & Art. The most extensive project of the American branch to date is a Tibetan medical school that is the first in the West to offer a four-year curriculum equivalent to traditional Tibetan medical schools in Tibet and India.
