I grew up in a Buddhist monastery in Nepal Kopan, When I was 13, I moved to South India for further studies in Buddhist Philosophy at Sera Monastery. I am now currently residing in Melbourne and working and living at the Tara Buddhist Institute. I work as an interpreter/translator for Tara Institute and also work as an interpreter to serve the local Tibetan community in Melbourne.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked in the Himalayas when I was a child! I was only 8 years old when I first went to the monastery of my teacher in Lawdo which is 2 hour walk from Namche Bazar - the main Sherpa town where mountaineers stop before climbing Mt Everest. I had been there twice in my childhood and still have very vivid memories of the amazing mountains and valleys!
