Hundreds of nuns trained in Kung Fu are biking the Himalayas to oppose human trafficking: a great title and a great story about nuns in full action to promote equal rights.

Great title, amazing story... and quite a good plot summary for an action movie!

Thanks for sharing it.

Lovely.

A time to sit, a time to get up and get going.

The Drukpa nuns said the earthquakes were a turning point in their understanding of human trafficking and that they felt a need to do more than travel to disaster-hit mountain villages with rice on their backs.

"People think that because we are nuns, we are supposed to stay in the temples and pray all the time. But praying is not enough," said Jigme Konchok Lhamo.

"His Holiness teaches us that we have go out and act on the words that we pray. After all, actions speak louder than words," she said.

Amazing story, thanks!

Helping others, creating awareness. Beautiful!

It's sad nuns have to train in martial arts to defend themselves from harassment... but at the same time that's so badass!

We should begin a Treeleaf Mixed Martial Arts championship.
