The autobiography of Tashi Wangdi, former Kalon of the Central Tibetan Administration, titled “My Life: Born in Free Tibet, Served in Exile,” was unveiled today at the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives (LTWA). Sikyong Penpa Tsering graced the occasion as the chief guest, with Deputy Speaker Dolma Tsering Teykhang as the special guest. They were joined by Secretaries of the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama (OHHDL) and a host of current and former dignitaries of the Central Tibetan Administration, alongside officials, staff, and other attendees.
The book delves into a detailed and captivating first-hand narrative of pivotal moments in the history of Tibetan exile, encompassing the inception of the Tibetan government in exile, its negotiations with the Chinese government, and His Holiness’s global recognition through prestigious accolades such as the Nobel Peace Prize, the US Congressional Gold Medal, and Honorary Canadian Citizenship, among others.
