Aye escaped Tibet in 1959 at the age of fourteen, traveling with his teacher and fellow students. After reaching India, he lived there from 1959 to 1966, continuing his studies and rebuilding his life in exile.
He later journeyed to England, where he spent nine years working for a commercial bank before eventually moving to the United States. There he married and settled down.
Aye now resides in Woodstock, New York, where his remarkable path from Tibet to the Catskills continues to shape his life and philosophy.
