My homeland is beyond the Himalaya Mountains, majority of people can guess which country is located beyond the Himalaya. Due to country is surrounded by the Snow Mountains, we call it snow land. As we all know the real name is called Tibet.

I was born in 1988 May 15 in the glamorous city called Lhasa is the capital of Tibet. We have the most renowned monument in the centre of Lhasa is being covered by fragrant flowers everywhere.

Since my father was forced to resign from his job by the Chinese government, because they believed my father had participated in non violent demonstration to against to Chinese communist government. He unwillingly resigned from his job. Before my father was working in the broadcast company and we didn't need to anxious anything. Unfortunately he was expelled from his job in a sudden and he could not pay for my school fee. My family had financially got big problem. So I was not able to continue my school.

More than five years ago, I only went to private school one hour in a one day. The private school was not permanent for long time. Therefore I was not able to improve my knowledge as what I had expected. Gradually I heard

from some other friends, they mentioned that if I can go in India, there I can study without paying anything. That&s why I made decision and I finally escaped from Tibet to Nepal with four people in 2006 at the start of the year. It was the hardest trip in my life that I had never done previously. I thought that was the end of my life. Fortunately bless from Buddha had saved my life. Finally I reached in Nepal reception centre, there they sent me in Dharamsala where our honorable leader used to live. The most adventure thing was that I got a public audience with His holiness the Dalai Lama at his palace. That was most wonderful moment in my life.
