RinjingDorje

I am Rinjing Dorje, a Tibetan Storyteller and author of three books on my homeland that are listed Amazon Connect.

My short bio: I was born in Shabru a tiny village in the foothills of the Himalayas, extreme noth of Nepal along the border with Tibet. My father Shareb Dorje was a Tibetan shaman from Nyarong, Kham, far eastern Tibet. My mother Choe Gyalmo was a nomadic woman the hills of the Himalayas. As was the way of life, I was brought up as the family's yak herder. At the age of eleven, some mytererious illness gripped me. A the brink of dying, a renowned Tibetan astrologer predicted that the only way I will enjoy my full length of life was to become a monk.

My parents sent me off to a monastery in Tibet. It was there, I became enamored with the ancient books that I read, written by scholars some two or three hundred year ago. Captivated by the ancient scholarly work, I dreamed of becoming a writer.

Chinese invasion of Tibet and passing of my father, My mother I moved to Kathmandu, Nepal. Keeping my dreams of becoming a writer alive, I attended western schools in Kathmandu,and later abroad. Today, I am a Tibetan storyteller here in America, and was able to get three books published. First: TALES OF UNCLE TOM, (2nd)FOOD IN TIBETAN LIFE, (3rd) a novel (recently published) THE RENEGADE MONK OF TIBE.

I believe: Life is a story, so everyone has a story to tell. No two stories are alike!

I will be happy to be connected with others
