Aged buddhist Nuns in remote Himalayas need help

In the remote Indian Himalayas (Zanskar, Ladakh) lies a 700-year-old Tibetan Buddhist nunnery called Dorjee Zong.

This nunnery was founded by Master Sherab Zanpo and houses 7 Nuns who though look fragile yet full of youth and zest. The oldest nun probably being in her 80’s

The nunnery has a long tradition of meditating nuns, some of who are famed for having reached high levels of realization.

Dorjee Zong nunnery is always in need of support both financially and also ensuring the Nuns basic needs are met especially where is no retirement fund or govt assistance

They always welcome fresh fruit and veges, however any support is welcome. Interestingly the medicine supply they had was expired so yes medicines are welcomed too.

So if you are visiting Zanskar please visit the old Dorje Zong Nunnery and feel free to reach out to me if you need to help them in any way.
