On 29th July, 2018, we meet Tenzin Tsundeu in his home at Dharmashala. We went to listen to his life experiences and inspirational talks. Okay, now let me give you his quick introduction.
Meet Tenzin. He is an Refugee Activist from Tibet, but born in India. He is a great writer who has published a tiny book of poems and stories named ‘KORA,’ which is his major earning source.
‘SUCCESS IS EVERYDAY, FAILURE IS A MOMENT’ -This is how he leaves footprint in his life, which keeps inspiring himself after getting into jail more than 15 times– he felt a great time to think for his life to think and act big. He is one of the greatest freedom fighters for refugees around India. ‘Free Tibet’ himself he haven’t ever been to Tibet but, he fights for his freedom with nation. He is the great example of being patriotic person without his own native identification.
Yesterday we went to a temple dedicated to the Buddha. It was very beautiful and we all got some amazing pictures.
Today we took our first trip into the center of Dharamshala. Although the walk up was hectic and tiring, it was a very nice experience because there was so much to see– people of all jobs and backgrounds and it seemed as if the town had a life of its own because of it. The view was amazing as it showed the mountain range in the back and all the lights of the town it very much exemplified the culture of this place.
