A Tibetan graduate student is scheduled to lecture on Tibetan medicine at Harvard University for three months starting from early September

Yangga is the first graduate student trained in Tibet to lecture in the United States. "In talks with overseas experts on Tibetan medicine, I found some are not equal to Tibetan secondary school students in terms of Tibetan medicine. I wish to help more people in other parts of the world to understand Tibetan medicine through academic exchanges," Yangga said. Yangga is renowned at Harvard since comparing notes with a Harvard professor at an international symposium on Tibetan medicine held in Lhasa, capital of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, in 2000. The Tibetan briefed the American on the centuries-old medicine and its supernatural functions, which aroused the professor's interest. After studying Tibetan medicine at the Tibet College of TibetanMedicine for more than 16 years, Yangga has a good command of its theory and clinical practice
