About
Ani Tsering Wangmo
Ani was born in Lhasa, Tibet and became a nun at the age of twelve.
After fleeing Tibet in 1991 and arriving in Nepal, she joined the Yuloko Jetsun Ling Nunnery in Yanglashöe.
Upon completing the traditional three-year retreat in 1996, she began and continues to work on the Ewam Pecha (religious text) project, collecting and digitizing the pechas for Gochen Tulku Rinpoche of Ewam.
Currently, she resides at Ewam Sang-ngag Ling in Montana where she has learned English. She continues to support Rinpoche's many worldwide projects.
Ani produced her first album "Turquoise Leaf" in 2000, which was recorded in the US. It was in the traditional Tibetan chant genre, and based on the Buddhist chants from nunnery. The album was well received in the US.
In 2004, she recorded the "Laughter of the Dakinis", based on Longchen Nyingthig Chöe practice.
Tibetan Medical Clinic
The proceeds from the Immeasurable Joy, the Gyaling, and the Immeasurable Equanimity CDs are all for the benefit of a medical clinic in Tibet.
This clinic is for Tibetans who have very little money but need medical care.
Maghada Garden
The proceeds from the CD, Immeasurable Loving Kindness, will go toward the Maghada Garden. Gochen Tulku Rinpoche chose the name, "Maghada" because it is the district in India in which the holy land of Bodhgaya is located. He intends that the Magadha garden in America eventually be like a Western Bodhgaya.
At the center of the garden is a large statue of Yum Chenmo (the Great Mother) also known as Prajñaparamita. She will be surrounded by the thousand buddhas of this age. A thousand trees will be planted there, and a thousand stupas as well. They will all be arranged in the shape of a giant Dharma wheel, with many flowers, walkways, and an arched bridge. All of this is surrounded by large mountains in every direction, and the vast Montana sky.
Yuloko Jetsün Ling
The proceeds from the CD, Compassion will go toward the Yuloko Jetsün Ling nunnery, in Nepal. This nunnery is under Gochen Tulku Rinpoche’s care. For half of each year the nuns are in solitary retreat in their rooms. For the other half of the year they study Dharma under the guidance of Rinpoche’s brother, Namchak Khenpo.
