In the Master's Footsteps Up in the Himalayas
TENZIN LABSUM IS 34 years old. He joined the College for Higher Tibetan
Studies, Sarah, more than three years ago. His demeanour exudes the quiet
confidence of a Buddhist monk.
Before his monk's life, Tenzin Labsum went by the name of Stalin D'souza. He
was the chief engineer at Glam Slam Recording Studio in Mumbai and earned
about Rs. 20,000 a month.
In 2001 Stalin D'souza went to work in Bahrain as a sound engineer. The
wheeling and dealing of the corporate world and the poor attitude of the
people of Bahrain to foreigners did not leave a good impression on him.
Stalin D'souza wanted to leave the whole thing and just go and figure out
things for himself. Before he did that, Stalin D'souza travelled to Goa to
speak to his cousin brother. His cousin directed Stalin D'souza to
Dharamsala. He said it was "a very nice place."
