Pallavi's first encounter with Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche was in 2018 during a public teaching in Deer Park, which was also the first time she entered the Buddhist path. She is a creative arts therapy practitioner who aspires to introduce dharma through the arts as an experiential medium and is a trained meditation instructor. A fan of 'Datun' (Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche's month-long meditation program), Pallavi strongly believes in the power of shamatha as a game-changer for taming the monkey-mind, allowing the space for and discovery of the inevitable, curious, beginner's mind. Pallavi is a part of the SI Global Committee and is involved with different projects and dharma events representing Siddhartha's Intent India (SII). She enjoys a wide range of music genres and cuisines, reading books, long walks, and nature is her most favourite muse.
