My Name Is Khyentse.


My parents named me Khyentse. (Pronounced "Khen" "Zee"). Apparently they went through many names and many months and still couldn't come up with a name of their choice. There was a list but then somehow, those names are just not the one. My soon-to-be godfather suggested to my parents of using Tibetan names. My parents like the idea and have him suggested few. Those names were calculated based on which month i will be borned (april or may). However, my father don't really feel those names are suitable for me. No names were choosen before i arrived. On the first day i cried my first cry, father sort of inspired to name me "Khyentse". After consulted mother, both of them agreed that this would how i will be named.

The name wasn't in the the calculated list . It was however, suggested by my godfather earlier and is a name used by those revered Tibetan gurus. Khyentse is a combination of 2 Tibetan words, 'Khyen' means wisdom and "Tse' means compassion or loving.

Note from Daddee : I wish my boy the wisdom to do the right things & i wish him the love to handle the heart when it is tough to do the right things.
