|
This book tells the story of nine of those nuns and provides a better understanding of the role played by Tibetan nuns in the Tibet freedom movement. Through their personal stories, we are able to have a sense of their life in Tibet, of their motivation to speak up against oppression - despite the certainty that they would be severely punished - and of the importance of Tibetan religion, culture and identity, and why the world should not forsake the Tibetan people.
