The Nepalese Buddhist nuns practicing a forbidden ancient skill Kung Fu

Very recommendable! On my visits to China, I have occasionally met Buddhist nuns. It was a pleasure and honor.

"In the inherently patriarchal Buddhist tradition, women are considered inferior to men.
But the [500] nuns of the 900-year-old Drukpa Lineage in Nepal are challenging stereotypes by developing exceptional physical and mental strength.
These nuns are the only female order to practice the deadly martial art of Kung Fu."
