Shagkor Yeshe Palden, an 83-year-old living in Lhasa, capital of the Tibet autonomous region, makes WeChat calls every day to his two daughters and grandchildren in Switzerland, where he lived for nearly 30 years.
During the calls, he updates them on what s been going on in Tibet since he returned to China in 1994.
Shagkor Yeshe Palden was once a Living Buddha at the Drepung Monastery, one of the great three Gelug, or Yellow Hat sect, monasteries of Tibetan Buddhism in Lhasa, but his peaceful studies were disrupted in 1959. Aged 20 at the time, Shagkor Yeshe Palden witnessed that year s brutal rebellion against the central government.
