Tibetan Parliamentary Delegation Visits Tawang

Dharamshala: As part of the Tibetan Parliament-in-Exile’s official program, a parliamentary delegation comprising MPs Geshe Lharampa Atuk Tseten and Tenzin Jigdal, currently on a periodical official visit to Northeast India, has successfully concluded their visit to Tawang.

On November 10th, en route to Tawang, the delegation visited the Mon Parong Jangchup Choekhorling Monastery and Urgyelling Monastery – the birthplace of Tsangyang Gyatso, the sixth Dalai Lama, to pay their respects. During their visit to Urgyelling, they also explored other significant pilgrimage sites, including the footprint of the sixth Dalai Lama and the Chakzam Bridge, which was built in 1420 AD by Thangtong Gyalpo.

Upon their arrival in Tawang, the MPs were warmly welcomed by representatives from the Regional Tibetan Freedom Movement, Men-Tse-Khang, and other local organizations. The following day, they toured several significant sites, including Sangay Tsal, Taktsang Monastery, Zemithang, Kenzamani, Gorzam Stupa, and Dolma Lhakhang in Lumla.

On 12th November, the MPs visited the historic Tawang Monastery, where they were received by the monastery’s Chakzoe and Lama Sherap Choegyal, president of the Tibet Support Group. This was followed by visits to Serjey Jamyang Choekhorling, Men-Tse-Khang, and the BRDL office and hall, where the MPs held a public meeting and a Q&A session with the Tibetan community of Tawang.

On 13th November, the delegation visited Bumla Pass, located on the Indo-Tibet border, and met with scattered Tibetan families near Chumi Gaytse, a sacred site associated with Guru Padmasambhava. They also visited Chumi Gaytse following their meeting with the Tibetan families. During their time at the border, the MPs took the opportunity to educate tourists on the historical ties between Tibet and India, emphasizing Tibet’s status as a true neighbor of India.

The MPs will continue their official visit in Shillong.
