It is a beautiful idea ! Most of the trouble in the world is caused by governments(the catalysts), our own immersed in countless crimes/deaths of babies, children, adults young and old, animals, insects. . And the unborn.

Observations over 6 decades and 2 years this month has brought me to this dreadful conclusion 😑
Om Mani Pad Mi Om - that feeling she said is on target. It is beyond description that allows your inner heart to flow your original purity. Everyone has it but most are covered up and don’t know. The answer is very related to your heart.
Great that Emma mentioned Goenka because Vipassana 10day silent meditation courses as taught by S.N Goenka or someone from that Lineage, is the best option for a lay person to experience the true transformational purpose and potential of meditation in its purest form taught practically. Most folks dont know that the original teaching from Gautoma was completely non sectarian, free from philosophizing, dogma or rituals. He wasn't a Buddhist, also he was not a god and never claimed to be, he was just a man who aproached his own mind scientifically. His teaching is actually so simple and effective. This is where its at. Most go their whole lives not experiencing the truth of suffering/liberation for themselves. Its like discovering an entirely different faculty, or sense, thats been there the whole time without knowing. Like a blind man from birth seeing light, it's purely experiential thats why it has to be practiced. It's like training in the gym except for the mind so it's less obvious at first what the purpose is because theres no prior experience to refer to but with diligence it becomes clear. The reason I say this is because many people get turned off meditation before properly trying because it seems attached to some sect or belief system but the original teaching is more like being given a very simple workout routine that can be quite difficult at first but doesnt take that long, several days usually of continual practice, and it starts to make sense why this is invaluable and nobody should charge money to spread the teaching if they can avoid it. Good luck and may all beings be liberated.
Eight Verses of Training the Mind by Geshe Langri Thangpa By thinking of all sentient beings As more precious than a wish-fulfilling jewel For accomplishing the highest aim, I will always hold them dear. Whenever I’m in the company of others, I will regard myself as the lowest among all, And from the depths of my heart Cherish others as supreme. In my every action, I will watch my mind, And the moment destructive emotions arise, I will confront them strongly and avert them, Since they will hurt both me and others. Whenever I see ill-natured beings, Or those overwhelmed by heavy misdeeds or suffering, I will cherish them as something rare, As though I’d found a priceless treasure. Whenever someone out of envy Does me wrong by attacking or belittling me, I will take defeat upon myself, And give the victory to others. Even when someone I have helped, Or in whom I have placed great hopes Mistreats me very unjustly, I will view that person as a true spiritual teacher. In brief, directly or indirectly, I will offer help and happiness to all my mothers, And secretly take upon myself All their hurt and suffering. I will learn to keep all these practices Untainted by thoughts of the eight worldly concerns. May I recognize all things as like illusions, And, without attachment, gain freedom from bondage.
Certainly not the first western woman to be ordained Tibetan Buddhist nun. That was Freda Bedi in the early 60s. Followed by Zina Rachevsky, Tsultrim Allione Robina Courtin and Diane Perry. All in the mid to late 60s.

No harm to all beings which includes non-human animals too but the host keep focusing on people alone. Buddhists or any spiritual/religious people should therefore live a Vegan life or else it’s only hypocritical. Let’s not just agree to things, lets put ahimsa to action which everyone theoretically agrees to. Peace begins on your plates.
I think she didnt want to explore the emotional side of it, probably because the nun wouldnt be interested in it. Its just a fact of the past that lead her to the present. In buddhism only the present matters.

Resilience through hardship, accepting imperfections, these are beneficial side effects of the far deeper, transformational insights that can only be understood through experience. People assume Monks and Nuns like this person choose this life because of these qualities that sacrifice and discipline bring us, these are side effects, in truth they choose that life because without being free from distractions it makes it so much harder to observe the subtle truths of the mind/body phenomenon. I discovered this on my first 10day Vipassana course :) Long story short we are living in the matrix haha
The affairs of this world are an illusion , moreover , without God's will not even a leaf can move .Funnily, Gautama Buddha needed a financial analyst in his team ...........
A day of non-harm! How beautiful. Perhaps it could start with a moment, then a second, then a minute, then an hour?
It is indeed a beautiful idea

I have always been a chronic insomniac but ever since I started doing 5 minute meditations before going to bed, it has helped tremendously

Eight Verses of Training the Mind
by Geshe Langri Thangpa
By thinking of all sentient beings
As more precious than a wish-fulfilling jewel
For accomplishing the highest aim,
I will always hold them dear.
Whenever I’m in the company of others,
I will regard myself as the lowest among all,
And from the depths of my heart
Cherish others as supreme.
In my every action, I will watch my mind,
And the moment destructive emotions arise,
I will confront them strongly and avert them,
Since they will hurt both me and others.
Whenever I see ill-natured beings,
Or those overwhelmed by heavy misdeeds or suffering,
I will cherish them as something rare,
As though I’d found a priceless treasure.
Whenever someone out of envy
Does me wrong by attacking or belittling me,
I will take defeat upon myself,
And give the victory to others.
Even when someone I have helped,
Or in whom I have placed great hopes
Mistreats me very unjustly,
I will view that person as a true spiritual teacher.
In brief, directly or indirectly,
I will offer help and happiness to all my mothers,
And secretly take upon myself
All their hurt and suffering.
I will learn to keep all these practices
Untainted by thoughts of the eight worldly concerns.
May I recognize all things as like illusions,
And, without attachment, gain freedom from bondage.

Hello! How are you doing?
Found this interview a bit dribbly I would have thought with all the time to discover oneself the words would be more precise and clear n simple
You mean you don't want to do the work and wait to be told what to think.

Technically everybody should be vegan.

I also want to become a nun im not happy with my present life
I'm the mother of two university students...please.
I really feel like the interviewer was very insensitive to her trauma...regardless of the outcome that has come out of the trauma.

Beautifully succinct. On target 🎯
She chose a uneasy life . But, it was her choice.
Its a hard road but makes life easier and easier each step of the way. As apposed to taking the easy road which only makes life harder each step.
