Seven Going on Nirvana

“I felt a calling.”–Dawa, 7, the youngest nun at the Jachung Karmo Nunnery in Punaka.

Dawa followed her aunt, Pema Dema, when she left her village in 2005 to join the Jachung Karmo nunnery. She adored her aunt and wanted to be with her. Now she feels her future is at the nunnery, and has no desire to leave.
