SFT Board Member Tenzin Wangyal has written an excellent tribute to our favorite five people, with some wonderful insight into his good friend Tendor:
“Many of you who know Tendor from his days at TCV might have been somewhat surprised to learn about Tendor’s prominent role in this recent action, since most of us remember him to be the jovial and carefree kind, seemingly never able to take anything seriously and always entertaining us with his jokes and witty remarks, on and off the stage. As a close friend, I have seen the other side of Tendor and know him to be an exceptionally thoughtful, intelligent and introspective person. Hence, when young well-tempered and tolerant people like Tendor take such actions against the Chinese government, it says more about the outrageous nature of the Chinese occupation of Tibet and the policies of repression put in place by the Chinese in Tibet.”
