Hero portrait and essay by Dessail Dolker, class 7
Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Tsetan is a Buddhist Monk, educator, and the founder of the Siddhartha School in Stok. He gives me and all the others who go to the school an education. He first began the school in 1995, teaching in one room with 5 to six students. He goes to foreign places to get people to help with our school.
Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Tsetan is like a like a godfather to me. He does everything for the Siddhartha school staff and students. He inspires me because of what he does to make sure we have everything we need to help us get a good education. He treats everyone the same and cares about us all. He is always smiling at us and is happy that we are coming to class.
