Join us at New Albany Central Library in downtown New Albany, IN for a special visit and midday conversation with Ani Tenzin Choyang, a Tibetan Buddhist nun, teacher, and emerging research scientist originally from Tibet. This free event is made possible thanks to the Drepung Gomang Center for Engaging Compassion.
Ani Choyang will share her remarkable journey from Chinese-occupied Tibet to international academic and scientific study, including her experiences overcoming educational barriers for women, pursuing advanced monastic and Western scientific studies, and working toward the prestigious Geshe-ma degree, the highest degree awarded to Buddhist nuns and monks, equivalent to a western PhD.
She will also share her journey leading efforts to establish a new Library, Learning, and Science Center at Jangchub Choeling Nunnery in India, expanding educational opportunities for nuns and women across the world through access to both Buddhist and Western scientific disciplines.
As the first nun from Tibet to receive Emory University's Tenzin Gyatso Science Scholarship, Ani Choyang has also conducted neuroscience research at Northwestern University and continues to bridge science, education, and contemplative traditions in innovative ways. Don't miss this inspiring discussion on education, libraries, and empowering women through learning and cross-cultural dialogue.
No registration is required. Just drop by the library's auditorium on the lower level.
