My lama tenzin gyatso - Live at pure Land farms

Tamding Tsetan performs his song “My Lama Tenzin Gyatso” in honor of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

Recorded live at Pure Land Farms, June 2019

Tamding Tsetan is a multi-instrumentalist/singer, and artist (graphics, tattoo, calligraphy) born in the small village of Widu, in Amdo, Tibet.

As a child, he herded his uncle’s sheep across the windswept mountains there. From a young age, he was naturally interested in drawing, painting, and music.

In 2002, he made an important decision to escape from Tibet. It took Tamding 43 days to cross the Himalaya Mountains, on foot, in winter.

He currently resides in Vancouver, Washington.
