Ngawang Damtsig Dolma

Venerable Ngawang Damtsig Dolma (Iris Ohlig) is a German Buddhist nun who was ordained as a getsul (novice nun) on 10 October 2022 in Dharamsala under His Eminence Choekyi Nangpa Rinpoche, following an initial encounter with Buddhism in Nepal in 1999 and years of study alongside a career as a psychologist. After the closure of a nunnery in Spain, she relocated to India, where she now continues her monastic life with gratitude and commitment, emphasizing impermanence, simplicity, and full-time dedication to the Dharma.
