AsiaLENS Fall 2009 Calendar: Daughters of Wisdom Daughters
of Wisdom By Bari Pearlman, 2007, 68 minutes. Discussion led by Arjia Rinpoche (Director of the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center, Bloomington, IN).
In the documentary film Daughters of Wisdom, director Bari Pearlman offers viewers an intimate portrait of the Tibetan nuns studying and practicing at the Kala Rongo Monastery. Located on the remote Eastern Tibetan plateau north of the Himalayas, the Kala Rongo Monastery houses nearly 300 nuns who created for themselves the unique opportunity to receive unprecedented educational and religious training in a land where the socio-economic realities of subsistence farming and nomadic herding have long dictated that educated women are wasted valuable resources. Resources: Daughters of Wisdom official website (http://www.daughtersofwisdom.com). Video clip of the film at (http://www.daughtersofwisdom.com/trailer.html). Review: Forthcoming in the Fall 2009 issue of AEMS News and Reviews, to be available online soon.
