About Blessings: The Tsoknyi Nangchen Nuns of Tibet

Narrated by Richard Gere, Blessings: The Tsoknyi Nangchen Nuns of Tibet, began in the summer of 2005 when renowned Buddhist teacher Tsoknyi Rinpoche led a small group of western women Buddhist practitioners to Nangchen, a remote nomadic region of eastern Tibet. Their journey brought them face to face with the Tsoknyi Nangchen nuns—women living in hermitages and monasteries, and still practicing the ancient yogic traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. Their lineage was initiated in the late 1800s by the first Tsoknyi Rinpoche who envisioned a time when these women would become some of the most accomplished spiritual practitioners in the world.
