At the age of 21 I was so sensible and became a nun. I am very grateful to myself for that.

If you take the time to study how to be a doctor and how to use your scalpel and your medicine, then there are endless beings out there to help.

I don't know why I got reborn as a female. Maybe in my past life I had some sympathy or something for women, but I certainly wasn't a female last time.

I think we females have a lot of work to do for each other.

People talk over and over about bodhichitta, but so often their heart is quite cold.

You see people swimming, and you think, oh, how wonderful to swim. But most people stand on the edge swaying back and forth, afraid to jump. They don't think they can swim.

I find that being with other people dissipates my energy.
