Monsoon rains at Dolma Ling Nunnery and Institute near Dharamsala, India 2023

This video was made by the talented team of Media Nuns at Dolma Ling Nunnery and Institute near Dharamsala. This large non-sectarian nunnery is home to about 250 Tibetan Buddhist nuns. The nunnery is set in a serene area of the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh at the foothills of the Himalayas. It is in the Kangra valley and the town of Dharamsala, home to His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government-in-Exile is about 20-minutes’ drive away. The nunnery is surrounded by green terraced wheat and rice fields and has beautiful views up towards the snowy mountain peaks of the nearby Dhauladhar range. This is one of the wettest areas in India and we are grateful to the architects and builders for the many channels that divert water away and keep the nuns and nunnery safe.
