Background
The Wolakha Nunnery, also called the Wolakha Dratshang, is a significant place for Buddhist nuns in Punakha, Bhutan. The nunnery has been important for keeping Bhutanese Buddhist traditions alive, especially those of the Drukpa Kagyu lineage. Set in the beautiful Punakha Valley, the nunnery provides a peaceful place for meditation and prayer. Today, it remains a center for learning and spiritual growth, showing how Buddhism continues to thrive in Bhutan and how women play a big role in it.
