Description
Daughters of Wisdom:
In this breathtakingly beautiful film, director Bari Pearlman has crafted an intimate profile of the nuns of Kala Rongo, a rare Buddhist monastery for women high in a remote region of northeastern Tibet. Here 300 nuns pursue their rigorous but rewarding life with a joyful dedication, grateful not to be wives and mothers, eager to learn to read, write and develop a spiritual and intellectual life traditionally available only to men. In this poor and mostly illiterate society, educating women is considered a waste of good laborers; yet the thriving monastery of Kala Rongo is breaking this tradition, and quietly contributing to the empowerment of women in Tibetan Buddhist culture.
