Nicholas Vreeland walked away from a life of privilege to become a Tibetan Buddhist monk in 1972. Grandson of legendary Vogue editor Diana Vreeland, and trained by Irving Penn to become a photographer, Nicholas' life changed drastically upon meeting one of the teachers of the Dalai Lama. Soon thereafter, he gave up his glamorous life to live in a monastery in India, where he studied Buddhism for fourteen years.
