Brief History of Dhargyal - Peace Walker


My name is Dhargyal or Madhar, I was born in Amdo, Tibet on January 15th, 1972. When I was 17 years old I went to a Buddhist High School called Labrang Monastery. I did this until I was 21. I studied buddihst philisophy, history and grammar, etc. In 1992 I left my family and crossed the border of Tibet and Nepal by foot to go to India. There, I saw The Dalai Lama. After a few months I went back to Tibet. I returned to India and than went back a second time to Tibet. Both times I brought many Tibetan political books and casettes of the Dalai Lama's. I than gave the books and casettes to students in six deffrent high schools and universities in Amdo . Due to my actions, the Chinese Police arrested me in my town and than took me to the police station for more than one month. After I was released from the police sation, I went to my home to visit my family where I took a rest. After that, I made a plan to move back to India because I really would have loved to see the Dalai Lama agian. So, I crossed the border of Tibet and Nepal again by foot and came to India, where I spent the next seven years. In Dharamsala I worked for the Tibetan Writers Abroad Pen Center. After that I moved to Dheradun where I taught Tibetan History, Grammar, etc, in a Tibetan school for two years. After that I moved to Kathmandu, Nepal for more than three years. on November 2nd, 2006, I came to the United States of America and now live in New York City. I heard that some people were doing a peace walk to Washington D.C., so I decided that I also had to do this. Right now I am doing the peace walk for a free Tibet with 7 Tibetans and one American. Please everyone support
Tibet and help us. Thank you very much.
