Leading Function+Si-p (Comfort & Wellbeing)
An attachment to small everyday comforts and a fondness for laughter — repeatedly documented in interviews — is the core of +Si-p action. A simple attachment to good food, a clean environment, and comfortable living spaces: spoken of in numerous interviews across decades.
Creative Function-Fe-c (Harmony & Emotion)
Continuously radiating gentle reassurance and quietly drawing back excessive heat through humour — the core of -Fe-c action. The ability to gently calm tension in formal meetings and personal dialogues alike is attested by many witnesses.
Vulnerable Function 1+Te-p weak (Practicality & Economy)
Weak +Te-p (Practicality & Economy): total reliance on aides for financial and organisational management of the Tibetan government-in-exile. Difficulty with the practical work of Kalachakra ceremony logistics and financial accounting: documented by multiple aides.
Vulnerable Function 2-Ni-c weak (Warning & Divergence)
Weak -Ni-c (Warning & Divergence): consistently slow responses at the historical branching points of Tibetan independence. The timing of the shift to the Middle Way policy; a reactive rather than anticipatory approach to the succession question.
Quadra / Temperament / Club
Quadra: Alpha Quadra (Genesis) — deep trust in equality, compassion, and openness as spiritual values, embodying the Alpha worldview. A democratic dialogue style that crosses sectarian, religious, and cultural boundaries as evidence of Alpha openness. Engagement with science as intellectual curiosity in the Alpha mode.
Temperament: Receptive-Adaptive temperament: a consistent posture of gentle adaptation to even the extreme situation of exile, without resistance. A consistent pattern of adaptation rather than resistance in the face of oppression, political setbacks, and external pressure.
Club: Socialite Club: placing dialogue and connection with all people at the centre of life. Personal dialogue sessions with people around the world, individual conversations after lectures as the core activity of a lifetime.
Worldview & Attitude
"All sentient beings seek happiness" — Buddhist optimism. Trust in the potential of human compassion, and a positive view of the world as improvable through spiritual practice.
Attitude toward Change: Advocating Tibetan independence as a direction of transformation while functioning as a symbol of dialogue and hope rather than military execution. A directional figure, not an implementer.
