Tenzin Geyche Tethong: The Dalai Lama’s Longest-Serving Private Secretary #169

Tenzin Geyche Tethong: The Dalai Lama’s Longest-Serving Private Secretary In this rare and intimate conversation, I had the honour of sitting down with Tenzin Geyche Tethong, the longest-serving private secretary to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, and one of the founding members and the first President of the Tibetan Youth Congress. With over four decades of dedicated service, Tethong la shares untold stories from behind the scenes—historic travels, quiet moments with His Holiness, and the evolution of the Tibetan freedom movement in exile. A first-hand witness to pivotal moments in modern Tibetan history, his reflections offer wisdom, humility, and a deeply personal window into the spiritual and political journey of Tibet.
