I'm glad that I'm female.

The Dharma is a very, very special and precious thing. The more you practice it, the more you will realize this.

Why are we sitting? Why are we practicing? Why are we doing anything? It's not so I can be happy. It's so I can embody the dharma in order to benefit other beings.

One thing in the Buddhadharma is that we are not our body, we are not our gender.

The thing to do in this lifetime is to create more merit.

Because we're trying, because we want, it's very hard to get.

There are many wonderfully qualified teachers out there, but that doesn't mean that each teacher is suitable to the same person, anymore than people fall in love with the same person.
