Kudos to the cameramen for risking their lives to document these scenarios.

[@supplegrey3613]

I already watched this somewhere. Slice, is it the update of their life or the same videos?

Amazing docu….. thank you. How different their lives are to mine….

[@boboriss94]

I cried several times

[@kellywangs3623]

God bless you 🙏 🙏🙏..

[@evalaura9362]

Woow , I’m still intrigued over the fact that her grandmother’s last words were “don’t let her become a nun”

[@tamalpias]

I felt so sad for these girls and the culture they live in. I wish them the best of luck.

[@MustAfaalik]

Are you seriously more fortunate or happier to live and die in a sensual world, while they live & die in spiritual surroundings? Many in the sensual world have left a household life for a spiritual path & are contented.

[@tamalpias]

@@MustAfaalikI would like to believe these young ladies didn’t feel they had to accept what was told to them that they had a chance to make important decisions in their lives.

[@MustAfaalik]

@@tamalpias What ladies? One had a spiritual yearning to be a Nun. That was her decision. The other was 22 y.o. and only anxiety was to have a good husband. Same culture that does not require much to be contented. Certainly a culture that westerners would find uncomfortable and alien to their sensual & materialistic world or perhaps their religious ideology.

[@tamalpias]

@@MustAfaalik if you watch the entire clip she had a lover but couldn’t be with him hence she chose the monastic life. If given a choice I think she would had chosen her first lover.

[@MustAfaalik]

@@tamalpias She did meet up with her first love after his marriage & told him her desire to be a nun and his respond was "are you sure". If you believe in Kamma, it would be easier to understand that some people are more inclined towards the spiritual life as a result of their past spiritual cultivation. Suffering is universal and being born in a Buddhist culture only make it easier to understand the characteristics of samsara (world) & the way to go beyond it. May you & family be well & happy.🙏

Ahhh I thought it's the next part of the girl seen this video somewhere else also

[@ricardo_herbig]

Esse video tem a atmosfera de um filme a cultura de um povo suas alegrias tristesas e superações! Estou trabalhando em algumas musicas que eu acho ficariam bem com essas imagens. Vou ficar assistindo esse video enquanto vou imaginando os acordes que ficariam bons! Enquanto não posso estar nos lugares pessoalmente estou fazendo assim!

[@Bootstrapsmediaandcommunicatio]

I think she has gone through a lot......she's so beautiful

[@chaliceflower]

I've seen this elsewhere quite a while ago.

[@MustAfaalik]

One does not become a Nun in Tibet without first becoming a student of a Lama while attending retreats for years. The Lama will then recommend you for ordination if he considers you ready for full ordination. That's how it works for Tibetan Buddhism. This doco has jumped the procedure.

[@aatifarham6141]
