Villager's path takes him from Buddhist monk to businessman

Tsering is a successful farmer and businessman who says his main aim is to get rich - but two decades ago his life could not have been more different.

Back then he embraced the austere existence of a Buddhist monk and devoted himself to spiritual, rather than worldly, matters.

"I had very little interest in material pleasures while I was a fully ordained monk 20 years ago," he said.
