BLESSINGS: The Tsoknyi Nangchen Nuns of Tibet

Produced by Chariot Videos - www.chariotvideos.com. Blessings tells the story of 3000 nuns living in the remote nomadic region of Nangchen in Eastern Tibet who practice an ancient yogic tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Despite near extinction during the destruction of the Cultural Revolution, these remarkable practitioners have emerged to rebuild their monasteries by hand.. stone by stone. Now, their wisdom tradition is once again vital and growing.
In 2005, Tsoknyi Rinpoche III led a small group of western students to meet these amazing women. Narrated by Richard Gere, with music by Ani Choying Drolma and Steve Tibbetts, Blessings is the story of this extraordinary journey.

The recent earthquake in Jyekundo,Tibet(Yushu,Chinese) has greatly impacted on  the Nuns in a very personal way. Before the devastating earthquake, this area was home to many of the nuns you see in this film. It has been reported that their monastic home in Nangchen,Tibet is intact, but that many are mourning the loss of family members who died in the earthquake and those that have been left shocked and homeless. Their prayers go out to all who are suffering.
