Tenzin Tsundue

By turquhart

Ask me where I'm from and I won't have an answer. I feel I never really belonged anywhere. Never really had a home. I was born in Manali, but my parents live in Karnataka. Finishing my schooling in two different schools in Himachal Pradesh, my further studies took me Madras, Ladakh and Mumbai.[...] I have nowhere to call home and in the world at large all I'll ever be is a 'political refugee'.

These are the words of Tenzin Tsundue, "a talented activist poet and essayist of Tibetan extraction." Via  Amardeep Singh

Tsunde's latest words: Lhasa, in translation

In the Upper Valley
Is a three-peaked snowy mountain          
It is not a mountain
It is the throne of my guru
Of my Guru Padmasambhava

~A song of devotion to the Great Guru of Tibet, Padmasambhava (From A Journey in Ladakh by Andrew Harvey)
