Teacher_VenSangyeKhadro Venerable Sangye Khadro.!
In 1971 Sangye Khandro, intent upon meeting H.H. the Dalai Lama, traveled overland for five months, finally arriving in Dharamsala, India. At this same time the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives in Dharamsala began to open its doors to Western students.
Completing six months of study at the library, and recognizing her deep commitment to the Buddhist teachings, Sangye took the vows and lay precepts signifying the formal entrance to the Buddhist path. Throughout the next seven years, Sangye traveled to India and Nepal annually to continue her studies of the Buddhist teachings and Tibetan language.
"After many years of preparing the field, it is now time to cultivate the depth and breadth of Tibetan Buddhist studies…We have established Light of Berotsana so that we may help with the task of translation from Tibetan into English while highly accomplished Tibetan lamas remain alive and available to teach in the West.”
Between 1973 and 1977 Sangye lived and taught at the Nechun
