Back to collection Phil Borges Women Empowered Collection - Renchin
|
Renchin, 59
Dharamsala, India In 1991, a group of sixty-six Tibetan nuns appeared on the streets of Dharamsala, India. Fleeing Chinese persecution, the refugees had nowhere to live, nothing to eat, and no support network. Renchin, a Tibetan refugee herself, helped the nuns find housing and establish a nunnery. Her efforts grew into the Tibetan Nuns Project, an organization that provides exiled nuns with shelter, health care, and, notably, advanced educational opportunities. Traditionally,Tibetan nuns have been taught how to pray, but not the meaning of their prayers.With no direct lineage to the teachings of Buddha, the nuns lacked the ancestry necessary for ordainment. Only monks could become ordained teachers and, through their teaching, support themselves. By giving the nuns the education necessary to become teachers, Renchin has opened the door to their economic independence. Collection: Women Empowered - Renchin Artist: Photographer Phil Borges Medium: black and white fine art photography collection Finish: Framed These beautiful black and white fine art photography of people portrait of indigenous cultures are the trademark of humanitarian photographer Phil Borges.
