Life of Tibetan Buddhist nuns at Dolma Ling Nunnery near Dharamsala
183,777
Published 2016-02-29
Dolma Ling Nunnery is unique because it offers a 17-year curriculum of traditional Buddhist philosophy and debate as well as modern courses in Tibetan language, English, basic mathematics, and computer skills. The nuns also receive training in the ritual arts such as sand mandalas and butter sculpture. The nunnery was successfully completed after 12 years of hard work and the nuns themselves worked to help build the nunnery.
The Tibetan Nuns Project provides education and humanitarian aid to refugee nuns from Tibet and to nuns from the Himalayan regions of India. It provides facilities and programs to educate, empower, and improve the status of ordained Tibetan women.
The majority of nuns have endured great suffering to get to this hopeful situation.
The Tibetan Nuns Project is dedicated to:
-- Improving standards of food, sanitation, medical care, and education in Tibetan nunneries;
-- Working towards future self-sufficiency through educational and training opportunities;
-- Training nuns to take leadership and service roles within their communities
-- Improving the level and status of ordained Buddhist women;
-- Assisting recently arrived refugee nuns from Tibet;
-- Continuing to establish further facilities for Buddhist nuns.

wonderful video.... could be improved to help. would suggest turn DOWN volume of music and turn UP volume of speaker. ask speaker to slow down just a bit too in aid of comprehension. this is a lovely presentation - small improvements will make even better to share your important message. blessings
