[1] She was raised in Dharamsala in India which is where the Dalai Lama had escaped to after his country was invaded by the Chinese as they put down the 1959 Tibetan uprising.

She learned both music and dance and she would have stayed for more than 11 years but her father died and she was obliged to earn money for her siblings.

After ten years she met her husband and they moved back to India to open a guesthouse in Dharamsala.

In 2009 she appeared in a concert that was again in Taiwan but the audience included those whose inheritance was not Tibetan, but still the performance and her powerful singing was well received.

[3] In 2020 her husband, Tenzin Geyche Tethong, published a biography of Dalai Llama illustrating his access to his inner circle.
