Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery

This Drukpa Kagyu Tibetan Buddhist Nunnery was founded by the Bhikshuni Tenzin Palmo in 2000, for young women from Tibet and other Himalayan regions like Ladakh, Spiti and Kinnaur.

The nuns practice meditation and study Buddhist philosophy, ritual, English and other practical skills. At present there are 35 nuns living and studying at the nunnery, part of which is still under construction. They hope to eventually provide a place for 100 nuns, where they can realize their rich spiritual potential.

One of the main aims of this nunnery is to initiate a group of particular suitable and dedicated nuns into the Togdenmas tradition. This precious lineage of spiritually realized Yoginis will be of greatest benefit to future female meditation teachers in the Tibetan-Buddhist tradition.
