Abstract:

"Khachoe Ghakyil Ling nunnery in Kathmandu is one of a new generation of Tibetan nunneries established in exile in India and Nepal, where the doors to a classical Buddhist education have been opened to nuns. In several years we will see the first fully qualified nuns receive their Geshe degree. This video shows the nuns at their monastery and in the US on tour, performing their ritual arts, chanting, and sand mandala construction. This video is a fund-raiser for the nuns."
