The 1987 photograph shows two young Buddhist nuns sitting together in Guiyang, their faces calm and composed. They seem at ease with one another, enjoying a peaceful moment that does not involve any formal rituals or teachings.

The modest surroundings, shown by the stone steps, wooden doors, and incense burner at the Jueyuan Nunnery, influence their way of life. Their youth contrasts with the traditional practices they have inherited, suggesting that the younger generation continues active spiritual practice.
