Ani Jangchup Chokyi – my meditation Guru explains how to become a Tibetan Nun. Spend a year as a pre-novice and serve three years as a novice. Easy huh?
The journey hasn´t dithered a number of middle aged and elder westerners becoming Buddhist nuns. They are often seen on Temple Road or in the Mega-store buying large quantities of Toblerone. There are several nunneries specifically geared to Western devotees in neighbouring towns including Palampur and Sidpur.
There is plenty that originate in Australia and the nuns seem to outnumber Western monks by about 4 : 1.
