Lama Tsultrim travels to Kathmandu to begin research and collect biographies of great Tibetan women teachers for her master’s thesis. Her old friend Gyalwa finds the biography of Machig Labdrön, and the lama of the Kagyu monastery agrees to begin translating it. For the next three days, Lama Tsewang Gyurme, Phontsog Tobjhor, and Lama Tsultrim translate the biography.
