Anshika is a student of Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche and lives in Bir. She was introduced to Tibetan Buddhism through Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s book, Cutting through Spiritual Materialism. She worked as a practitioner of Homeopathy and Aromatherapy for nine years before she was appointed to the role of Secretary.

Anshika went to a liberal education institute in Pune, FLAME University, for her undergraduate study, where she majored in Literary and Cultural Studies; she is also trained in Kathak, a classical Indian dance form. Anshika hopes to serve Rinpoche and his mandala to the best of her ability as she explores the possibilities of mind with the aim of becoming a decent human being.
