For Nangdrol, 18 years old, who self immolated on February 19 2012 in Dzamthang county, Ngaba,Tibet.
He set himself on fire in an area between Barma township and the Jonang Dzamthang Gonchen Monastery,
while shouting "May His Holiness the Dalai Lama live 10,000 years!" and " Freedom for Tibet".
His body was taken back to the monastery where traditional rituals were carried out for him. More than 1000 Tibetans had gathered there to hold a vigil.
According to Tibetans in the area who are in contact with Tibetans in exile, Nangdrol cared passionately about Tibetan culture and language and had urged fellow Tibetans to be united, and to preserve their cultural and religious identity.
He left a will behind:
Head raised high with
indefatigable loyalty and courage,
I, Nangdrol, call on
My grateful
parents,
brothers and relatives,
For the cause of
grateful Tibetan people,
By giving up my life to
fire,
Men and women of Tibet,
I hope you all will
keep unity and harmony;
Wear Tibetan [dress] if
you are Tibetan;
Moreover, you must
speak Tibetan;
Never forget you are
Tibetan;
You must have love and
compassion if you are Tibetan;
Have respect for
parents;
Have unity and harmony
amongst Tibetan;
Be compassionate to
animals;
Restrain from taking
lives of living beings.
