I started, on my own initiative, focusing on translating His Holiness the Dalai Lama\u2019s books in 2007. Later, with Geshe Thupten Jinpa\u2019s recommendation, I had the opportunity to translate a few books for Mind and Life Institute. These books are based on the dialogue between His Holiness the Dalai Lama and scientists. I also had the opportunity to translate Mind in the Balance by Allan Wallace into the Tibetan language at its author\u2019s personal request.<\/p>\n

In 2015, I, along with Geshe Lungtok Gedun, founded Tibetan Translation & Research Institute, with blessings from His Holiness the Dalai Lama and financial supports from the Dalai Lama Trust. I act as the general editor of Tibetan Translation & Research Institute, overseeing all its projects.<\/p>\n

      I completed my Buddhist studies and earned Geshe Degree in 2018, at Gaden Jangtse monastery, in South India.<\/p>\n

      While I was studying for my Geshe degree, I served as a teacher at Gaden Jangtse Thosam Norling School, teaching for more than seven years. I was also its director for over two years and had been the chief editor of a series of Tibetan texts for the school.<\/p>\n

      In 2015, I, along with Mr. Tenzin Rigsang, launched a project of translating the works of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and systematically translating important books into the Tibetan language. I cofounded the Tibetan Translation & Research Institute in 2015, with the full support from the Dalai Lama Trust.<\/p>\n

      I act as the director of the Institute, in charge of administration and fundraising for its physical construction as well as its future financial management.<\/p>\n
