How Buddhist Nun Emma Slade Changed Her Life 

A day of non-harm! How beautiful. Perhaps it could start with a moment, then a second, then a minute, then an hour?

Gratitude to Ani la from Kathmandu Nepal.

What a great interview

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.

BE HAPPY 🙏🙏🙏

Namaste, Ani💖🙏

Thank you

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.

Mam I want to be a nun 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 please help

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'm the mother of two university students...please.

You are pema deki I am pema wangchuk

I really feel like the interviewer was very insensitive to her trauma...regardless of the outcome that has come out of the trauma.

هذه المرأة لا يصدقها ولا يسمعها الا المغيبون في متاهات التحريف والتخريف والتزيف ، كفانا شر هذه المرأة وشر من كان مثلها ، حفظكم الله من كل مكروه وضر وشر ، كل عام وأنتم بخير .

She chose a uneasy life . But, it was her choice.

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 ...........
