Buddhist nun singing

A nun, director of Baek Hung Temple in South Korea, sings beautifully while her group takes a short break during a hike through the mountains.

Deep in the mountains of South Korea, at Baek Hung Temple in Daegu, a group of Buddhist nuns follow a tradition dating back over a thousand years. They gather for a ninety day period of meditation, fasting and contemplation.

This includes "Yong Mung Juin", a seven-day ritual of sitting and meditating without rest of sleep. Their goal is to attaining enlightenment.

She is singing because she is happy.  She is happy because she has found Dharma.
