- Geshema Tenzin Kunsel is one of 20 Tibetan Buddhist nuns who received her Geshema degree from His Holiness the Dalai Lama on December 22, 2016. Her extraordinary story is one of determination and dedication. With gentle humor she tells her story of overcoming many obstacles on the path to becoming a senior nun.
The Geshema degree is equivalent to a doctorate in Buddhist philosophy and is the highest level of training in the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism. Until recently, this degree could only be earned by monks and is called the Geshe degree.
This historic milestone for nuns is the culmination of decades of study and dedication. The rigorous exam process for the Geshema degree takes a total of four years to complete. Each year the nuns must take 12 days of exams to test their knowledge gained in a 17-year course of study. The majority of the nuns who attained their Geshema degree, like Geshema Tenzin Kunsel, had little or no education in Tibet and escaped into exile to India and Nepal.
This video interview was made in October 2017 at Dolma Ling Nunnery. Our thanks to Venerable Lobsang Dechen, Tibetan Nuns Project Co-Director for her kind translation and to volunteer film-makers and photographers Evan Kezsbom, Jalene Szuba, and Dustin Kujawski.

Beautiful souls!!
Lord Buddha blessed her. Bless Lord Buddha.
Wow 🤩
Inspiring real life of nuns. But Lord Buddha achieved enlightenment by practising intense meditation not by learning philosophy. So monks and nuns need to also get a chance to do serious meditation in addition to study religious texts.
lucky strong determination,congratualation .
Please answer this question:
Do Tibetan Buddhist nuns get full ordination in Gelugpa tradition? If they do not, I am discarding my Lama Tsongkhapa statue.

Nice buddhist nuns.people shouldn't force our small daugter,small sister to be a nuns.buddhist nun should avoid meat,alcohol and luxury life.mostly tibetan monks and nuns are nonveg,alcoholic,married living luxury life.all kings in tibet were also rebirth monk in the luxury palace with wives. this kind of bad uddhist culture was born in tibet.buddha was born in lumbini nepal.buddha said if you don't have any food to eat then you can eat meat.
Oh really... In tibet monks n nurses never drink alcohol. But in India some monks drinking alcohol during their annual holiday in native place or village. I didn't see but I heard.
