Nuns at the Ganden Shedrub Choephel Ling convent in the Sichuan province hosted a Jang Gunchoe, or Winter Teaching, from September 4 – 9. It is the first time ever that nuns have held a Jang Gunchoe and it was attended by hundreds of participants from nunneries across Sichuan and neighbouring Qinghai. The visiting Geshes who were giving instruction applauded the nuns’ initiative and encouraged them to continue.
