Geshe Tenzin Zopa

“I was born in the Himalayan region, right on the border of Tibet and Nepal, in Tsum Valley or Happy Valley. It is said that there is hidden Dharma treasure here, buried underground, in stupas, and in the atmosphere. For thousands of years, many masters have mediated there, like Milarepa… It is a very humble village, but whoever travels there finds extraordinary peace. They fall in love immediately.”
