Sonam feels honored and grateful to join the Khyentse Foundation board of directors. She is committed to doing her best to help in this important role, and she looks forward to supporting the foundation’s mission to promote Buddhist study and practice around the world in any way she can.
Sonam is a civil servant in Bhutan, and most of her knowledge comes from her experience working with the Ministry of Finance. Along with serving on the Khyentse Foundation board of directors, she is also a board member for Jamyang Khyenpa, an organization under Bhutan’s Commission for Religious Organizations.
In 2015, I met Rinpoche for the first time and that moment changed everything. That year marked a major turning point for me, and from then on, my life took a different path. I feel incredibly grateful for his guidance, his teachings, his blessings, and simply for his presence in our lives. My hope is to serve him well and to be the kind of student worthy of such an incredible teacher, doing whatever I can to support his vision. Having this chance in life feels like a true blessing, and I cherish it deeply.
