47whitebuffalo reminded me of this biographical movie in a reply to
https://bearspawprint.wordpress.com/2013/09/26/seven-years-in-tibet/
Kundun is a 1997 epic biographical film based on the life and writings of the 14th Dalai Lama,
the exiled political and spiritual leader of Tibet.
Thank you, Bear. For posting the film and for the shout out. 🙂

May I ask how your name ‘translates’ into English? Or is that pushing a boundary? If so, I withdraw the question.

ཋེ་ is partly a sound to give context meaning. ཝང་ also has meaning, but was not in available in this tool.
My language instructor had a HUGE dictionary, about 14″x16″x 10″ teeny print, thin paper, and we had the help of the one who bestowed this name …. yet we could only come close. 🙂
Roughly translates to : Long Life Powerful Woman , but with context nuance.
At that same time the language instructor’s wife (an acupuncturist) was gifted a name which we were delighted to learn was very close to: Eternal Life Goddess.

As close as I can figure, just now: Tse Wang Dol Ma = Source or Power of Sweetness Mother Goddess or Nurturing Goddess Were you told a translation? Am I close? Also I googled both (never did that before, dunno why I never thought of it) names ….. there are several folk with our names as their legal handles.
