It is interesting and I learnt more about him such as his paintings and translation of Kama Sutra in Tibetan! He is a talented person much needed at that time in Tibet's history but not recognized by the Tibetans or more like the ruling elites as such. <br/>In our times, we the younger generation donot recognize the wealth of information about our culture and history that our parents and grandparents hold. We should tap it before its too late. Next time any of us are with our parents try to learn more about our culture and history by asking questions.
