Tsepel is a little bit punk rock, but not a lot. For instance, she doesn't like punk music -- prefers relaxing music in fact. We met her in Dharamsala, where she lives with (Mr. Tinley's sister in law?) the prime minister elect for the Tibetan Government. Tsepel works for Middle Path, speaking Chinese, Tibetan, English and Hindi. She is a photographer. Working for Middle Path is a "side job."
After an overnight bus ride, arrival at 11 AM, Tsepel helped me go directly to the temple to secure group seating for the teachings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. It was not easy, as the area was already packed, and it ended up taking us until 3 PM. I was quite tired and sick by the time we were done, and abruptly handed her over to "Mr. Scott" to finish planning errands while I went to rest in my room next door. She took it in stride.
Later, she took Mr. Scott on her friend Pema's small motorcycle to buy 7 electric heaters for our trip to Tso Pema, and she and Scott rode back on that same motorcycle carrying all seven heaters.
Tsepel went with us to Norbulinka Art Institute, and she is pictured above receiving a yoga adjustment from Scott.
