- This short video shows a typical day in the life of Tibetan Buddhist nuns using photos by Brian Harris taken at Dolma Ling Nunnery and Institute, a non-sectarian nunnery located in the Kangra valley near Dharamsala, northern India.
Officially inaugurated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama on December 8, 2005, the nunnery is fully funded by the Tibetan Nuns Project and was the first institute dedicated specifically to higher Buddhist education for Tibetan Buddhist nuns from all traditions.
Dolma Ling Nunnery and Institute 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.
Currently, 238 nuns are fully engaged in study, practice, nunnery work, and self-sufficiency projects such as tofu making and handicrafts. In May 2013, 10 Dolma Ling nuns made history when they appeared for the first year Geshema exams.

Very beautiful vlog...
They look so happy
così lontani, eppure così vicini! grazie di esistere così come siete!

@@ElevationLowJJ im sorry to be extremely blunt but there's no proof of god or even the existence of jesus, but there's proof of buddha's existence and reasons for his teaching's truth, respectively. But yes, i do believe that practice of god may help you become a better human being than a materialist. If you must know, even you are a buddha.
Beautiful!

Thanks for your feedback, Nikki. We were trying to keep this overview video short (under 3 minutes) so we know that there's a great deal of detail missing. RAlthough all are based on Indian texts, each Tibetan tradition has its own commentarial literature. Hence, the sect to which a nun belongs determines which texts and commentaries she studies. As Dolma Ling seeks to be a non-sectarian institution, the decision regarding which texts to study was not an easy one. The top class at Dolma Ling advances to the level of Madhyamika studies (called "Uma" in Tibetan). Madhyamika is a very subtle and difficult subject, forming the heart of the Tibetan philosophical tradition and is traditionally studied for at least three years. Upon consultation with numerous teachers including H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama, the nuns study the classical Indian texts, the source of all Tibetan expositions. The primary texts are works by the great seventh century Indian master, Candrakirti. Outside of their formal classroom instruction, the nuns may study commentaries from any tradition that they wish. Regarding why the nuns practice debate, we have a great video primer on on this. See ua-cam.com/video/ST-vED730gk/v-deo.html Monastic debate is of critical importance in traditional Tibetan Buddhist learning. Through debate, nuns test and consolidate their classroom learning.
Meeche dii.....
Nmo buddhay jai bhim to all
They hardly have any time to meditate? :o
Meditation is not simply staying in a meditation.
Maybe avoiding,idle mind devils workshop syndrome.
A good life - seems a shame they don't do meditation ….
Thanks, Sheila. The nuns rise early and do their own personal practice in their rooms before chores, classes, and so on. When they perform pujas and chanting, this is also a form of meditation. Many nuns do walking meditation morning and evening, when they do “kora”, circumanbulating the nunnery in a clockwise direction, softly chanting prayers and using their malas (prayer beads).
@@TibetanNunsProject , hi, i want to join tibetan monestary, i am from india, can u please explain me the process.
Nice videos.
@@TibetanNunsProject Why Male Monks beg for food and eat 1 time a day and female nuns cooks and eats 3 times a day? Is there any logic behind it?
@@sahanabiswas12 intermittent fasting is mostly not healthy for women. And, with the access all monastics have to land, I don’t understand why don’t they all grow food, for themselves and for the community around.
Maybe the nuns grow the food, that would be why they don’t depend on begging for it? I don’t know
So simple nuns.plz nuns and monks should avoid meat,wine,alcohol and luxury life.i like simple living high thinking monks only."i'm from the land of sakyamuni buddha"lumbini nepal.
Tibetan refugee nuns in india are good but most tibetan cultural monks and nuns are nonveg alcoholic married and living luxury life. This kind of bad buddhism is made by their kings in lhasa tibet state of China. Buddha said if you don't have any food to eat then you can eat meat. They are like a leader of our society they must be pureveg and live in simple life without any violence. This comment is from the land of buddha lumbini nepal.
