"Why are you so busy? There is enough time Here we say that people in a hurry have to hurry because they have a short life. We say that all of us experienced all in our previous lives, therefore there is really no need to stress or run after more." Wise man in Thimphu, Bhutan. Buddhist nuns in Bhutan, high up in the Himalayas, far away from Western ideals and realities, live really different and thought-provoking lives.

The nuns have opened their hearts to Buddhist life and practice, revealing peace, happiness, harmony and joy within a simple, meaningful way of life.
