Background
I was born into Chengdu, Sichuan province where giant panda ’ s hometown. I graduated from Religious Research in Sichuan University and finished my MA in 2006. I was specialist in anthropology religious study and interested in Tibetan Buddhism. I had done the field work for my dissertation in Kham Tibet, tile was “ The Transformation of Tibetan Buddhism in Chinese(Han) Area ” . After graduation, I worked for YYMA Tibetan indigenous NGO for Tibetan traditional culture heritage protecting.
Now I am studying in Bradford University, Peace Study department in Conflict Resolution. I am interesting in Ethnic & culture conflict resolution, peace keeping and peace building.
I like traditional ethnic culture, reading, mountain climbing. I studied Tibetan Buddhism for eight years, but still feel I am a beginner. I do some meditation when I feel too many concepts in my mind. I am searching my inner peace as my life goal. Fortunately, I gave birth to twin-babies this year, one girl, one boy. It just like won the lottery!
