Brief Biography
I was born in Zanskar region in Ladakh, Northern of India and lived with my parents until the age of 13. I have five sisters and two brothers and
we all grew up in a very simple and remote semi nomad family. Upon receiving teachings and Kalachakara Initiation from His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Zanskar in 1988 I was lucky enough that my parents sent me to Dharamsala with another nun to get better education. I jointed at Jamyang Choling Institute (JCI), an Educational Project for mainly Himalayan Buddhist women in 1989. After more than 17 years, I completed my formal monastic education from (JCI) in 2005.
Due to His Holiness the Dalai Lama's blessing and unwavering support of His Holiness and many of my kind teachers for so many years I feel very fortunate to be among the 20 newly graduated Geshema (Equivalent to Doctorate in Buddhist philosophy) for the first time in Tibetan Buddhist History! The study program at Jamyang Choling Institute includes Buddhist Philosophy as core subject and Tibetan Language, poetry, histories and English as additional subjects.
I was also very fortunate to have had opportunities to take part in few international conferences, study tours, seminars in Asia, and Europe, North America and few Tibetan Religious and Gelung International conferences in India.
From 2009 to 2013 I took a month for each year intensive Science Workshop at Sarah College (close to Kangra Airport) provided by Emory Tibet Science Initiative. Two times Science Workshop provided by the Science for monks program for which I am honor to take part in creating an exhibition on Climate Change that consists of Parallel prospective both Buddhist and Modern Science.
I also had opportunities to serve as administration duties for many years at Jamyang Choling Institute, including seven years as Secretary or Assistant Director, two years as accountant, a year disciplinarian, and another year of chatting master and for a year of store keeper. While I was taking the responsible at Janyang Choling office, I had the wonderful opportunity to invite His Holiness the Gyalwang Karmapa Ugen Thrinley Drojee to observe the annual Tibetan nuns' debate in 2008 and His Holiness the Dalai Lama XIV to bless the Institute and impart teachings and advice to the nuns in the year 2009.
Any successes that came in my life is due to the kindness and blessing of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and many of my philosophy teachers, friends and family who look after me so many years. I cherish and keep the bound between teachers, friends and family so deeply.

From the creation of drop of positive action, May His Holiness the Dalai Lama live long and may every World Spiritual teachers and teachings prevail on this earth to bring about Peace, Happiness and harmonious in the World.
