Dear Tsetan la, I just found you on internet and looked through different tibetan artists on your website. What a wonderful idea and realization to put the work of Tibetan artists on the web ! I do appreciate your dedication to the tibetan cause.
I am a Tibetan writer living in Switzerland. During almost 10 years, I collected tibetan “rodung” stories from my late father and wrote them down. It is my little personal contribution to save tibetan culture and the precious knowledge of our elders who slowly disappears like my father did in 2015. Since I live in the french speaking part of Switzerland, I wrote them down in french and they have been published first in 2012.
2013, my book won the 2nd cultural prize given by the journal Tibetfocus of the “Swiss and Tibetan friendship society”. Page 6 and 7 on following internet link:
