"For the past year and a half I have been living primarily at Samten Choling Nunnery in Eastern Tibet, overseeing the education of the resident nuns in Tibetan language and Buddhist scripture. Until I took on their cause, the opportunities for nuns to study were few and far between. Since beginning their studies, they have been movingly sincere and incredibly diligent and I am truly pleased with their progress and optimistic about their futures. In fact, earlier this autumn we held a great accumulation retreat for six days, for which we invited lamas from the five major traditions. At this time several of the nuns gave Dharma teachings to the entire assembly without even relying on texts."
