September 2005 In Ladakh, India, on a high altitude plateau, many young women are choosing to become nuns, living in monasteries on the mountaintops. Aside from being afforded the opportunity to develop their spirituality, these young women are gaining some independence and freedom that they would otherwise not have had in their rural lives. The nuns are benefiting from efforts to improve their literacy and secular eduction, as well as the opportunity to use modern technology, including the internet!

@commonworldcitizen well, life is short. One day never comes, you know.
its all about happiness, and that is not reached in the persuite of happiness but in the development of inner peace and happiness. So, go for it!
Greetings…
I just watched this video and it signifies humility and renunciation of vanities. Quite similar to what Islam signifies, though there are different principles.
Islam is no barbarism, its as a humble and peaceful practice, but in contrast to Buddhism it prescribes violence against intolerable oppressive violence.
The modern terrorists barely know islam, they are trained to murder mindlessly. If anyone really wants to study Islamic Sciences, go through the scriptures and schools.
Nuns in Ladakh also live in their family and do prayers at home. Most of the time, they are helping the family on the field. So they do not belong to a sanga.
I love the selfless simplicity and deeper, more meaningful way of life~ Such a peaceful way to live~
A small but significant centre for the affirmation of Buddhism
islam sucks
beautiful
