Born in Tibet, she lives in France for about twenty years and she works as a minder while educating her own children with the will to pass on to them the richness of the Tibetan culture and spirituality.
Her father, Tenpa Lhundrup, was a Dzogchen hidden yogi in the Yungdrung Bön tradition. Having completed his studies in Menri, the main Bönpo monastery of Tibet located in the province of Tsang, he was meditating in a cave for seven years when the Communists forced him under duress to leave the religious life. Then, he came back in his native land in the East of Nagchu where he got married and worked as a Tibetan doctor, practicing the traditional medicine he learnt before in Menri monastery. Until Mao's death, life was extremely difficult in Tibet and any religious activity was forbidden. That's why he went on his spiritual practice in a hidden way, meditating secretly during night at home or in a nearby juniper forest.
At the time he had been obliged to leave his monk life, the abbot of Menri had entrusted to him precious relics in order to preserve them from destruction. He concealed some of them in the walls of the family house and others in the nearby mountain until the day he could give back them to the monastery.
When he was 52 years old, he gathered his wife and children and gave to them some advices for the future. Then, he told that he had to leave this world and requested them to not enter the home temple during one week. Sitting in meditation posture in the temple, he dissolved his mind in Dharmadhatu. During the following days, his body reduced down to the size of a 8 years old boy. During the cremation, his skull jumped from the fire and everyone could see inside the skull three clearly outlined syllables, which was a sign of his high realization.
