On Love, Compassion, and Bodhicitta

The jewels of the Dharma shine bright as the northern star. Their light of compassion and loving-kindness shine on all sentient beings. Their care and unselfish devotion to relieve suffering rises as easily as the sandalwood incense at the morning service and smells as lovely as the summer roses. They share their smiles effortlessly and lead the way by example. My heart sees them and is awed at their beauty.
In appreciation of all nuns and women in service of the Dharma.
Incarcerated people
Many incarcerated people from all over the United States correspond with Venerable Thubten Chodron and monastics from Sravasti Abbey. They offer great insights into how they are applying the Dharma and striving to be of benefit to themselves and others in even the most difficult of situations.
