My Journey Invite To Speak
Lama Aria Drolma

My Journey

From the World of Fashion to the Path of Awakening

Born in India and raised in a traditional family, I began my career as a model in India, appearing in numerous fashion campaigns and commercial advertisements before continuing my work in the fashion industry in New York.

Despite a successful career, I felt a profound inner calling that led me to the path of Tibetan Buddhism.

Ordained by H.H. Kenting Tai Situpa, I embraced the monastic life and completed a traditional three-year, three-month retreat program in a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Upstate New York. An experience that profoundly transformed my life.
