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.
