For Jewon Koondhor, Lhasa is the most livable city in the world, even though he left Tibet at the age of 7, spent decades in Zurich, Switzerland, and only returned to settle in Lhasa in 2011 at age 59.
When Jewon Koondhor, one of the Living Buddhas at Qamdo's Jambalin monastery, left the Tibet autonomous region in 1959, there were only two schools in the region. He was astonished at the changes in Tibet when he returned to China for the first time in 1984.
