The Game Changers “KUNG FU NUNS”

A very interesting webinar was organised with The Game Changers – Kung Fu Nuns on November 20, 2020.
The Kung Fu Nuns are an order of Himalayan Buddhist nuns who belong to the Drukpa Lineage, a thousand-year-old sect led by the Gyalwang Drukpa. The Drukpa nuns are best known as Change Makers and are known as community activists, promoting gender equality, environmental sustainability, and intercultural tolerance in their home villages in the Himalayas, where women’s access to educational and economic opportunities are some of the lowest in the world.

KungFu Nuns- the name itself draws a lot of attention. Sporting maroon-coloured robes and shaved heads, the Kung Fu Nuns cartwheel, punch, kick and land in splits. They are all known as Jigme, which means “fearless one.” It was very interesting to hear their inspiring story, of championing gender equality, physical fitness, environmentally-friendly ways of living, and respect for all living beings.

Maloo Natarajan, FLO Mumbai Chairperson was the Day Chair.
