Thubten Wangchen was just four years old when the Chinese invaded the Tibet region., in 1950. Chinese forces kidnapped his mother and shot her. The little boy fled with his father and two brothers walking for days through the icy mountains of the Himalayas.
This is how they arrived in Kathmandu, in Nepal, where the boy was begging for two years. It was then that his father heard that the Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of the Tibetans, had exiled to India, and decided to leave for that country.
After long years begging for alms, the Indian government carried out a campaign, promoted by the Dalai Lama, to collect all the Tibetan children exiled in India from the streets and offer them an education.
At sixteen years old a young Wangchen, attracted by spirituality, He decided to enter a monastery to learn more about the Buddhist religion.. He managed to enter Namgyal's, where he lived for eleven years with the Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso.
Currently, Wangchen is a deputy of the Tibetan government in exile and directs the House of Tibet in Barcelona, Spain.
