Biographical Profile
Elizabeth McDougal (Ani Tenzin Chozom) lived as a Tibetan Buddhist nun in India for fifteen years at Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery, Tsogyal Shedrub Ling Nunnery, and at Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi. Since 2006 she has been working for Gebchak Gonpa in Nangchen, Eastern Tibet, as the Nunnery’s English secretary and translator. Fascinated by the Nunnery’s position as a vestige of traditional yogic culture in a region where the ancient has quickly transformed into the modern, Elizabeth is currently pursuing research on the topic at the University of Sydney.
Very eloquently presented, great to know about the Gebchak nunnery. Thank you for this.
Very good, I attended live at the presentation and I'm still impressed
Impressive the discipline and yogic mastery of the nuns at the Gebchak Nunnery. Fascinating
Thx Ani la. Amazing women/ yoginis, revered throughout Tibet and HImalaya. I have met a few of them. I hope one day also, that the ones on the thrones in front of them will be women too at some point..
Can't say I agree re Tibet though. Masters inside Tibet I hear saying that true dharma now is being crushed by China, and they have suggested now the burden to hold the true dharma is in the West. Shame that the magical beautiful inconceivable practice of these women does not fit a materialist communist male left brained society too well..There are very few himalayan men doing the degree of practice like these women also..
book recommend: THE BASIC SPACE OF PHENOMENA by longchen rabjam.

Monasteries are for people lost in their thinking minds, caves are for yogis who live in freedom. There are thousands of caves full of yogis all over Tibet that have been in retreat for decades even 70 80 years. You gotta go to know!
I've been all over Tibet anually since 1984. There's a lot of truth here. There has always been yogis and scholars. As the saying goes, Yogis don't know much about Buddhism, and scholars aren't very enlightened. All hte monasteries have a combination of both. Larung has a floating populations of 40-60,000 twice the size of Harvard. To bad the west doesn't have such religious freedom.
