Biografi, Geshe Pema Dorjee. "Lifelong commitment Geshe Pema Dorjee was born in 1951 to a nomadic family in Shillong on the border of Tibet and India. Like many other Tibetan families of the time, they found refuge in India after they were forced to flee in 1959 after the invasion of the country. After many years of study at the Tibetan Homes Foundation School and the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala, Pema Dorjee worked as a teacher for Tibetan Language and Culture. Soon he became Principal of the Tibetan Children´s Village School (TCV), a school for 2,500 refugee children and only three years later he became Director of the institution. In 1995, as a result of his continued studies in Buddhist philosophy he was awarded the Geshe degree (equivalent to a Ph.D.) from the Drepung Loseling monastery. In 1989, at the behest of H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama, Geshe Pema Dorjee together with friends and supporters established Pelmo Choeding Monastery in exile (in Kathmandu, Nepal) one of the great legacies in the history of the Bodong tradition. In 2003 he founded the Bodong Research and Publication Center near Thekchen Choeling Temple, Mcleod Ganj in Dharamsala and he became its director. Geshe Pema Dorjee has devoted his life to a great number of charitable projects such as creating schools, establishing regional support, medical aid and individual care, never ignoring any occasion to help and to show compassion. To him living a meaningful, happy life is a direct result of showing love and compassion. He is trustee of the Bright Horizon Children´s Home."
