Yaqing Temple, a photo from Sichuan, Central

Photographer's Note

Tibetans refer to Buddhist nuns as juemu, as they believe the nuns belong to the upper class of Tibetan women.rnrnAs the temple is isolated, the nuns' living conditions are not very good. Nevertheless, the women remain committed to practicing Buddhism. More than 10,000 juemu currently study Buddhism in the temple UNLIKE OTHER SECT OF BUDDHISM . the monks and num having their calling in the middle of their life. THE TIBETAN MONKS AND NUM ARE ORDINATED WHEN THEY ARE VERY YOUNG FROM 6-10 YEARS . it is very common for family to send their youngest of the family to the temple they consider that as a family honor

Hello Tony

Interesting shot of these nuns. From your title I was looking for some sort of building - perhaps even something quite ornate, but you have shown us these two doing their heavy work in front of a pile of timber! Building material, or to be chopped up for firewood, I wonder?

Regards

Will

Ciao Tony,
What a lovely capture. It is perfectly rendered and exposed... Great work! Love the narrative contrasting the differences between this famine sect of Buddhist and the other variants.
Warm regards,
GiovanniG
