Tibetan Buddhist spiritual leader Choekyong Palga Rinpoche delivered an insightful talk on the theme “Role of Youth in Nation Building” at an interactive session held at the Law Auditorium, Panjab University, today.

The event, organised by the PU Dean Students Welfare in collaboration with Ladakh Phanday Tsogspa and Jammu Kashmir Study Centre, aimed to address issues important to Ladakh.

In his address, Rinpoche, the eighth incarnation in the Drukpa lineage, better known as the “Monk who sold his Maserati”, advised students to lead lives of discipline and mindfulness. He emphasized that personal growth and resilience were key to overcoming modern challenges like depression, anxiety, and overthinking. Only strong individuals, he suggested, could effectively contribute to building a prosperous nation.
