Tencho Gyatso (USA) The Dalai Lama's Niece: From Counting Momos to Campaigning in Washington

Join us for an extraordinary journey with Tencho Gyatso, President of the International Campaign for Tibet (ICT). She offers a rare, personal history of the Tibetan community.

Dharamsala Life: Tencho shares her youth in Dharamsala, which felt like a complete Tibetan bubble. She describes how different the town was in the 60s and 70s compared to today's tourist hotspot.
The Family Cliché: Tencho reveals that despite being the Niece of the Dalai Lama, she was expected to carry your own weight and received no privileges.
Early Responsibility: Hear how Tencho quickly entered the world of business after her father passed, running the family restaurant. She details the intense challenge of being a woman running a business in India—a "very male-dominated business and society".
Success through Teamwork: Her ability to run the business successfully was built on teamwork with the staff her father had employed.
Political Rise: Learn how she unexpectedly joined the Tibetan Parliament at just 25 years old.
Life Philosophy: Tencho shares the wisdom she learned from her mother: It doesn't matter what you do. You have to do it really well so that you can leave an impact.

Listen now for powerful insights on Tibetan Exile, resilience, and finding purpose.
