Ladakh Nuns Association,


Ladakh Nuns Association, set up to keep friends, supporters and visitors alike updated with our activities. Now beyond it's tenth year, LNA is an active part of the religious and civic community in Ladakh. The Association has helped to raise the status, visibility, education and living conditions of the nuns. Because LNA has provided the opportunity for education and spiritual practice, there has been a substantial increase each year in the number of women being ordained in Ladakh.


Objectives

  • To provide training opportunities for nuns in both monastic and secular education, as well as to improve life skills;
  • To develop skills in Tibetan medicine so that nuns can take more responsibility for their own health and that of others;
  • To train nuns to be Dharma teachers;
  • To provide opportunities for Ladakhi laypeople to receive Dharma teachings;
  • To explore ways nunneries can be self-reliant;
  • To renovate existing nunneries and establish new ones.
