Tashi Tsering, an extraordinary Tibetan
Tashi Tsering, an extraordinary Tibetan
(1929-2014)
(Introduction)
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I’m a little embarrassed to address this learned gathering for two reasons: firstly, I’m completely incompetent when it comes to artificial intelligence; and secondly, it’s been twelve years since I last set foot in Tibet, unlike younger friends who went there quite recently and came back enchanted. All I can do is introduce you to an extraordinary Tibetan by the name of Tashi Tsering, who, after centuries of obscurantism, helped establish a fundamental human right in Tibet: education for all children, boys and girls alike. His life was a veritable novel.
