Dr Lucie Blouin visited Shar Gaden and Serpom Monasteries with Zawa Rinpoche to look at the health of the monks and what medical needs they have. She looked at the cause of their health problems, identifying poor lifestyle like drinking coca-cola will speed up the onset of diabetes.

The monks need to be well nourished because they study so hard. She says the monks need a lot of support – to keep the lineage pure.
