Non-Himalayan Nuns
We are a global, inclusive network connecting and supporting non-Himalayan nuns ordained in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.


Non-Himalayan nuns are women who have been ordained in the Tibetan Buddhist lineages and who are from outside traditional Himalayan regions. Their presence ensures the continuity of the fourfold sangha, which is essential for authentic Dharma practice and transmission worldwide.
ANHN is committed to helping current and future nuns build and maintain strong spiritual communities to support their practice and to benefit the broader society through the Dharma.


There are many ways to support the Alliance of Non Himalayan Nuns. Learn how you can make a positive impact.
