Teacher

Venerable Thubten Drolkar was born and grew up in Germany. When she went to India as a teenager she did her first Introduction to Buddhism Course at Tushita in 2013.

In 2017 she went to Istituto Lama Tsong Khapa in Italy to study three years of the FPMT Master Program.

Since 2020 she started leading courses in Germany and Switzerland and spent around 7 months in retreat at Vajra Yogini Institute in France.

In 2021 Venerable Drolkar moved to Dharamsala to continue her studies in Buddhist philosophy at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics, where she is enrolled in the traditional Geshe curriculum.

She was ordained in December 2022 at Kopan Monastery by Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

About Tushita

Tushita is a centre for the study and practice of Buddhism from the Tibetan Mahayana tradition. We're located in Northern India, in the forested hills above the town of McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala - the seat in exile of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Tushita aims to provide a friendly and conducive environment for people of all nationalities and backgrounds to learn about and put into practice the teachings of the Buddha. With this in mind we offer regular drop-in events and courses on introductory Buddhist philosophy and meditation, as well as intermediate level courses and group retreats for more experienced students.
