14th Interview: Thubtchen Wangchen | Buddhist Monk about personal change


Right before the end of the year I had the chance to interview Buddhist monk Thubtchen Wangchen in Barcelona to talk about personal change, how it is seen in the eastern world and specifically in Buddhism, where it is said that nothing is permanent and therefore always changing. Quite a credible person to talk with as he had to leave Tibet in 1959 and had to live in the streets of Kathmandu, Nepal, before he had the opportunity to study in India his own and other languages, culture, history, arte, and philosophy. Today he is the director of the FundaciĆ³n Casa Tibet in Spain. We discussed also the concept of happiness and the immense interest in Buddhism, the leadership style of the Dalai Lama and the Brand Tibet. For me particularly interesting to see was that he was answering comments on his Facebook-page when I entered his office at Casa Tibet.
