I was born in exile, and opportunities were limited back then, which is how I found my way into music. At the time, preserving our culture and traditions was important, but there were very few resources or teachers available. For example, we might have had just one Tibetan guitar shared among ten students. Today, things have improved significantly, especially with better equipment and infrastructure. However, I believe there's still much room for improvement, particularly in our teaching methods. We need to inspire the younger generation about the importance of our culture and traditions, not just through words but by incorporating it practically into our daily lives. Nowadays, I see many young Tibetans engaging with Western music. It would be wonderful if they also promoted traditional instruments or Tibetan singers, as this could have a ripple effect, influencing others to do the same. We all have a role to play in preserving our culture and traditions. The older generation did what they could, and now it's our responsibility to carry that forward.
