Exam time at Tilokpur Nunnery! 😃👏 Tilokpur Nunnery, also called Karma Drubgyu Thargay Ling, is the oldest Kagyu nunnery outside of Tibet. Tilokpur Nunnery was founded in 1966 by Mrs. Freda Bedi, a British nun ordained by the previous Karmapa. It is now home to 140 nuns from Tibet, the Himalayan border regions of India, and the Mustang region of Nepal. It is one of seven nunneries directly supported by the Tibetan Nuns Project and through our sponsorship program. The nunnery held its exams at the end of June and the summer holidays started on July 1st. Photos courtesy of the Tilokpur nuns.

A little goes a very long way at the seven Tibetan Buddhist nunneries we support in India. The nuns followa vegetarian diet and some of the staples are rice, flour, cooking oil, potatoes, and dal. Did you know that you can sponsor a nun for just $1 a day? We are always looking for more sponsors. Learn more at tnp.org.
