tsepal achi

In this interview, Mitchell speaks with Achi Tsepal, the founder of the Children of Tibet Trust Foundation. CTTF sponsors these student's education of the Tibetan Plateau and in the Himalayan regions so they can lead good lives and to help preserve their Tibetan heritage and well being.
Achi was born in Kham, Tibet and received his name from the Drikung Thil Monastery in Central Tibet. In a remarkable story, in 1959, Achi’s parents escaped to India after a 3.5 month arduous, life-threatening journey over the Himalayas. There were four Monastic groups (labrangs) and about 50 families from the Drikung Valley who followed HH the 14th Dalai Lama into India, but only Achi’s family made it.
1974 after graduating with BA from Bangalore University, Achi was chosen by HH the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, the head of the Karma Kagyu Order of Tibetan Buddhism, to accompany him during HH’s first and second World Dharma Peace Tour as Private Secretary and English Interpreter…. and served in this capacity for seven years at Rumtek Monastery, Sikkim, India.
1981 Achi and his family moved to Washington DC to start a new life and during his spare time he worked hard co-founded the Tibetan Meditation Center (1982) and the Drikung Dharma Surya Buddhist Center (2011) belonging to the Drikung Kagyu Order of Tibetan Buddhism.
In 2008, Achi was the 2008 Machik Award for Engagement Winner for his work through the Children of Tibet Trust Foundation.
The core mission of CTTF is to help the Tibetan children on the Tibetan plateau and the Himalayan regions to obtain the best secular education so that they can promote, preserve and persist in their work to keep pace with rapid modernization.
Achi is a model for, with every life-threatening hardship in front of one, the difference in the lives of others someone can make, just the kind of modeling MItchell loves to do here on A Better World TV.

you are not a good listener. you barges in with you comment at wrong time, often with wrong remark.
Achi said amazonians are in the small pockets of Tibet, yet again you believe they are indians.
