Former Political Prisoner Dies

July 28, 2020;

Ven Tenzin Choedak, 79, passed away on Sunday morning at Delek Hospital in Dharamshala. Ordained as a monk at the age of 10, Choedak was imprisoned for 12 years in 1968 after protesting against the Chinese occupation of Tibet. After his release he worked tirelessly to restore his monastery in Driru and others in Lhasa. He escaped to India in 1996 and dedicated his final years to Buddhist practices.
