Blessings: The Tsoknyi Nangchen Nuns of Tibet

Blessings: The Tsoknyi Nangchen Nuns of Tibet 2009 Directed by Victress Hitchcock

In Tibet, the word for woman translates as "lower rebirth." In a remote eastern region of the country, the Tsoknyi Nangchen nuns defy this definition. Devoted to the ancient practices of Tibetan Buddhism - once primarily a male domain - over 3,000 nuns have attained elevated status. Director Victress Hitchcock honors them in this moving documentary, which follows the journey of a small group of Western women to remote mountain hermitages to meet these nuns.
