Tsoknyi Nuns

Tsoknyi Nuns Supporting Tsoknyi Rinpoche's vision to cultivate enlightenment in female form. Tsoknyi Rinpoche’s nuns are part of a wisdom tradition long preserved in Tibet.

The Tsoknyi Nuns are located in Nepal and receive support from a worldwide sangha. In the 19th century, Tsoknyi Rinpoche the First designed and developed a system of practices for the transformation and enlightenment of female practitioners. He envisioned a time when these women would become among the most accomplished Buddhist practitioners in the world. The expression of Dharma through the femal

e form is important and unique. Qualities such as gentleness, motherly care, and loving energy are quite strong in the female form and very healing for the world.
