The new kora path at Shugsep Nunnery and Institute

Shugsep Nunnery and Institute is a Tibetan Buddhist nunnery in northern India. Now home to about 100 nuns, the nunnery was built and is fully supported by the Tibetan Nuns Project. For many years, the nuns have wanted a path where they can practice kora, traditional Tibetan walking meditation. Kora (བསྐོར་བ།) or circumambulation is the act of walking around a sacred place or object such as a temple. The act of walking around a sacred site generates religious merit and cultivates bodhicitta or an enlightened mind.
In 2023, the nuns asked for help to build a kora path. Now, thanks to the generosity of 47 Tibetan Nuns Project supporters, they have one! Work on the circumambulatory path began in early 2023 and was completed in October.
The kora path is good for the nuns' physical and mental health. Now the nuns can take a healthy walk outdoors and get much-needed exercise. The nuns tell us with big smiles how much they love their new kora path. Each morning, the younger nuns follow the Khenpo, the abbot of the nunnery, five times round the nunnery for exercise! Our deepest thanks to all those who supported this big project and made the nuns' dream a reality.
