Vietnam's landscapes, village communal houses, pagodas, and food have left a deep affection in Ani's heart. On a visit to Yen Tu, she was especially moved hearing the life story of Emperor-Buddha Tran Nhan Tong and the values he passed on to future generations.
Speaking with press and audiences in Hanoi, Ani also expressed admiration for the way Vietnamese people preserve culture and roots amid modern life.
Beyond her love for Vietnam, VnExpress shares Ani's reflections on why she chose to sing:
“I do not sing to become a star. I sing because I believe music can bring something useful to those who listen.”
— Ani Choying Drolma, VnExpress
For Ani, music soothes the mind and brings teachings of compassion and wisdom closer to people — especially younger generations. She was also deeply touched by Hanoi audiences' warmth ahead of the concert night Nhân – The Inner Seed.
Sound Healing Concert sincerely thanks VnExpress and journalist Ha Thu for recording these heartfelt shares, helping audiences understand Ani and the intention behind her voice.
