Today, we visited the oldest Nunnery in Tibet. Nuns don't have it as easy as monks do, who are receive more money in donations and from the government too. Nuns have to earn their keep and these nuns run a clinic and a teahouse and a store to accomplish that.
The nuns were very hospitable to us, and most likely would have been even if it were not for Rand's very generous donation.
Although they were on break in their morning meditation and having their snacks, they chanted a lovely prayer for us. We also were invited to visit the workroom where they assemble the scrolls that go inside prayer wheels and also their dormatories. Two nuns share a room and we were happy to see that they had a poster of the current Dalai Lama on the wall.
