Kung Fu Nuns
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 авг 2019
- This nunnery has an empowering claim to fame-it’s the only one in Nepal where the nuns practice martial arts. The nuns of the Buddhist Drukpa Order train three hours a day, and they break bricks with their bare hands. Heroes in the Himalayas, these strong women delivered supplies to hard-to-reach villages after an earthquake struck Kathmandu in 2015. The kung fu nuns have also taught self-defense classes for women and biked 14,000 miles to protest the human trafficking of women and girls.

'They can break the bricks with their hands.'
That's so cool, I want to be a nun too.
"Drukpa order isn't for lazy people."
Well...
Your name is also the name of a traditional cake here in Indonesia
@@fire_lord862 my name is originally a Sanskrit word and vocabulary of many languages have some Sanskrit words . My name have quite a few meanings and one of them is ' pleasant or sweet fragrance ' so may be that's why that traditional cake is named ' Surabhi ' but it is still quite funny and interesting to know that my name is literally a cake in Indonesia , thanks lol 🤣 .

This is what religion should be: teaching its members how to help others by educating themselves and applying their skills in an effort to make a positive change.
Buuuuuuut thankfully the Creator makes the rules, not us. We ruin everything. We are not the standard for morality... Let that sink in.
@@Cosigner22 i didn't say anything negative about "the creator" or whatever. I just said that this is how it should be, I've read the bible and 100% blame any hate from christians and Catholics on them and not their teachings, because I've read those teachings and know that these followers have twisted them.
@@tazeralien8514 I agree. This is how it should be, and it was supposed to be from the very beginning.
As a christian I also mostly agree with your other post. It's sad to say that modern day christians and catholics have bastardized christianity and alot of the hate is our fault. However, some of it is from opposing factions deliberately lying to make it worse than it seems. The whole world seems to be preparing a political army (and in some cases a physical one too) against God's ways no matter what category you fall under; protestant, catholic, jew, it doesn't matter. I dont know where you stand in relation to the one true God, but I'd like to thank you for not being like the others and blindly making accusations like the rest of the world. We need more people in this world who are willing to read and research for themselves to find the truth, instead of just taking a designated party's side and everything that spews out of their mouth.
@@BlackWinds All research is in one book. Good luck.
@@tazeralien8514 Not just the bible, either. Tora and Koran are the same.
"kung fu isn't for lazy people"
me : yeah sports aren't for lazy peo-
"anyways we have to wake up at 3 am and start exercising"
me: s'cuse me WHAT
She said the "Drukpa Order is not for lazy pepple". Not kungfu(which its not) but u saw they sweeping the roads also. She meant the entire lifestyle
Well, expert meditators and monks may require less sleep. It seems, that being peaceful requires less energy.
Well there are lazy people who does martial arts as well
Welp i already tried waking up at three am
Everyday, my mom wakes me up around four-thirty. While my older sisters wake up at two-thirty, and my little sister wakes up at seven-thirty.
"Helping others is my religion."
This is the first time I genuinely liked the term religion.
That sounded beautiful.
atheism re==killed more people than religion btw get your facts straight by the way I am a deist so dont assume my religion
SPIDER LILIEZ yah I don’t like religion I just like a relationship with Jesus.
@@nathanhursey6779 faith and religion are different, so I won't blame you for disliking religion. I know _I_ do...
Then you must not know anything about Buddhism and Janism cause you wouldn't think ignorant things like that if you did
Yeah, this is such a statement to live by !
Missed opportunity to say ‘Nun-fu’
Lol😁
I don’t get it
@@dinh6327 How? It's funny...Those nuns are learning Kung fu so nuns and Kung fu...Nun fu haha get it now because nuns learning kung fu nun plus kung fu okay bye
What about Kung nun?

*Im guessing this is where Doctor Strange found his power*
Haha, that makes sense :'D
Some parts from dr strange were from Kathmandu Nepal tho

This a movie waiting to be written. It’s like a secret order of demon slayers

they’re like the real life kyoshi warriors!! this is so cool!
Finally, I've been looking for this comment
also Yangchen was an airbender avatar xD
I see you too, are a person of great intellect
But Airbenders don’t use fans tho
@@muhammadzeeshan303 actually it is airbenders who used fans...Spoiler: in kyoshi's bio you will learn that her mother was an airbender and that is how she got her fans fighting style and so the kyoshi warriors took that from her but it has an air bending origin..
I mean it does make sense fan=air
This put tears in my eyes. This is it. The real reason of Martial arts. I loves these brave, wonderful, compassionate women. They deserve the best in the world.
Rey C26 do they though?
“The Drukpa Order is NOT for lazy people.”
Me: ...aight ima head out.

@@eddyviews1427 nice to see pps like u eddy , nowadays people only invest in girls with big butts and IG models .
It's Strikingly similar to Avatar the last airbender
I loved the part that says that "Kung Fu trains us to focus our minds for meditation".
That line stuck with me as we.
It really does take a lot of focus to stay still and stay internally silent so it makes sense that kung fu would help with that being a discipline and all
Drukpa Order is not for lazy ppl.
Helping others is my religion.
Kung Fu improves the mind to meditate properly.
Great summary of the Nuns.
for anyone who's curious: these nuns are from the white gumba/monastery aka druk amitabha mountain. the one on that steep hill.
It is an ALL female monastery? Powerful
I visited the white gumba few years ago and it's a beautiful place. sad that now its closed to the public but it opens once a year on the birthday of the head priest (forgot the exact date but it's in Falgun)
I'll try to visit this year

YOO it’s the Kyoshi warriors
Any man who dares grop the women
The women: So you have chosen death
"Helping others is my religion." That gave me goosebumps.
I'm so moved by this wtf? They are such amazing and inspiring people. I also love how they train kungfu with a fan. Imagine beating somebody with a fan.
And it’s the Vietnamese nuns who have taught these nuns Kung Fu!

Coolest Religion i've ever herd of: "helping is my Religion"
Hats off to these amazing nuns! They took girl power to a whole new level.
Keshia Anjani did they though?
I know what you're talking about when you say that practicing Kung Fu makes it easier to meditate. I have practiced Karate-do and Taekwondo for 20 years with a little Judo, Akido and Systems mixed in. There are many times when I felt that same level of meditation even in the midst of something very hard. It feels like even though my body is moving around my spirit pulls back inside and I can feel it almost gathering in waiting for the next chance to fly. I feel infinite in that moment. Most of my time I've spent surrounded by men not women so I had to learn that I could do anything that any man could do; maybe differently maybe using a different path but there was no way that I couldn't match them. I have a feeling that if Christian nuns learned to martial arts I would probably have joined a nunnery a long time ago.
Infinite huh? Yh, I get the same feeling when I drop acid
Eloquent and compelling description
“Helping others is my religion” - sounds like it should be everyone’s religion!
"Helping others is my religion"
*Everyone liked that*
Proud to be Buddhist 🙏we chakma people (ethnic minority) in Bangladesh are overwhelmingly Buddhist 😊
"Helping others is my religion"
Do you have any idea of how powerful that sentence is?
“Helping others is my religion” - such a powerful message!
It is a fact that women Can do anything a man can do. Kung fu is just one of many ways to show that. Thank you for reminding people about this fact. :)
dead channel oof 😓 what happened. Were talking about some human beings believe that woman should do only the things they are told to do, and that they are less then the opposite gender. Not about physically or biologically what they can and cannot do. But I do agree with you statement

That is a great story. I am sharing it to all of my pages! Thanks very much! WOMEN ARE SO POWERFUL!!! Eileen
I'm waiting for a neural surgeon to bust in there and learn the mystic arts
When you realize that you’re accomplishing nothing
Edit: thank you for the likes guys I appreciate it. I guess I accomplished making some people laugh. Thx for that
I am accomplishing many things. Maybe you should give it a try?
VoidX tell me, what have you done for the betterment of the human race? I would very much like to praise you for your accomplishments and your fight for equality. But first i need to know what you've done so i can shower you with my praises
Danielle Spargo What’s your problem? Are you that insecure to belittle me as a human being?
I’m working hard at doing short stories for my comics. They’re 100% original. I also developed my own style. I’m working towards my true ambition, which is in the near future make an animated show of my work. Then I will have my own animation company.
I simply didn’t like the OP’s pathetic comment. Everyone has the potential to do anything they fucking want, and right now, I’m dedicating my time towards my goal of making a portfolio of work that will be seen by many people. I obviously don’t need your “praise” or condescending attitude; I can only wish you’d work towards your own ambition with passion, because I have faith in your abilities.
VoidX
My only issue was that your comment seemed to belittle the efforts of the women in this video as ordinary or expected. They've made amazing strides towards equality, and their efforts should not be minimized. I'm honestly very glad to hear that you're making efforts to further equality and rights for women, but i just take issue with the way you said it, and the subtext of your assertions.
But if you think the OP's assessment that their contributions pale in comparison to the work of the women in the video is pathetic, then i really hope your contributions are a shining beacon of hope for humanity. If not, you have no right to call anyone pathetic.
Danielle Spargo It has nothing to do with the video, lol, you’re taking my comment too literal. I was clearly talking to the OP because he was being a generic nihilist, which somehow reflects everyone else’s thoughts on what they can achieve.
Again, nothing to do with the women, you’re just projecting on your own self-worth. What’s pathetic is everyone’s confidence on what they can and can’t do.
"I learned that I can do anything a man can do" and "Helping others is my religion". Such badass, amazing women! Thanks for bringing them into the spotlight! We need to bring such women more into spotlight to change the current, limited definitions we have about women, and to change how we see women. I hope more media will turn away from limiting women to their sexuality. I love this so much! Thank you!!!
That is an interesting point about women being defined and valued by their sexuality. When I first saw this I was momentarily put off by their shaved heads and I thought, "why do they need to defeminize themselves and look like men to feel strong?" And I caught myself and then thought, "why does their shaved heads make me think that? They are strong and capable while also demonstrating the feminine characteristics of nurturing and taking care of others." It is food for thought. It is funny how that these qualities are sometimes seen as okay when it is justified by still looking like a typical girl by having long hair.
This is what I have been wishing for my entire life and requesting and telling my family. Please, how can I join this! I am literally crying with joy. For this life I can leave and let go my present life and everything.
So google this
Getting major Avatar the Last Airbender/Legend of Korra vibes.
Well the shows airbenders are based on the Tibetan monks and the Dalai Lama, this Drupka sect of Buddhism like most of Nepal and the Himalayan kingdoms belong to the Tibetan Buddhist family and venerate/recognize the Dalai Lama

Magnificent, ThankYou for sharing. Namaste.
Excellent video. I would love to see the full documentary. I can not figure out how this video has any dislikes. They must be people who have no happiness in life.

So It’s obviously not for me
Wow! This is so awesome! I would have loved to be a part of it too❤️
This is so cool. Also important that kung fu isn't just a martial art, it's more a way of living to improve yourself and your spirituality. So these nuns aren't warriors, they're physical and spiritual badass (though they could still own you). Out of all the religions it's the one I most vibe with because even when other religions preach community and good will, you're still serving someone. Buddism is about improving yourself, the community, nature and eventually achieving enlightenment.
I got some avatar the last air bender vibes from this 😭😂
Same...☺😀
