An Ani is a Buddhist nun in the Tibetan tradition.

Title and Meaning

Ani: The honorific title placed before a nun's name (for example, Ani Pema).

Life and Practice: Tibetan nuns shave their heads, wear maroon and yellow robes, and devote their lives to meditation, scripture study, and prayer.

Secret Yogas: Certain historical lineages, such as the nuns of Gebchak, are famous for preserving advanced meditative practices and dream yogas.

Challenges and Exile

Tibet: Nuns inside Tibet often face strict government controls, mandatory language requirements, and limits on traditional retreats or meditation caves.

Exile Community: Many nuns escaped Tibet over the decades to seek religious freedom in India. Organizations like the Tibetan Nuns Project support over 900 nuns across seven nunneries in northern India, providing education, healthcare, and housing.
