In the mid-80s Akhyuk Lama, a Buddhist monk, went to meditate on the sacred plateau of eastern Tibet. Little by little countless pilgrims joined him, thus founding Yaqen gar, an immense "Buddhist settlement" where about 20,000 monastics reside, two thirds of them are nuns. It is a holy site that the Chinese government wants to demolish.
