Buddhist nuns practise Kung-fu at the Am

Buddhist nuns practise Kung-fu at the Amitabha Drukpa Nunnery on the outskirts of Kathmandu on April 26, 2012. Buddhist nuns in the Himalayas have traditionally been seen as inferior to monks, with the women kept away from such manly pursuits as martial arts and relegated to menial tasks like cooking and cleaning for the monks.
