May Buddha bless you. You are lucky to have found Buddhism. I am not a nun, but l am lucky to be lead back into Buddhism. I nearly gone to a different religion if it was not with to blessings of Buddhas I know and confident I am on the right path in Buddhism.
Bless you, Amy. You are a true inspiration for the teachings of the holy Dharma by becoming a Buddhist nun. May you and all sentient beings find enlightenment. Love to all.
Thank you for sharing that :) Please, don't be sad. I hope you are able to find peace and happiness. I hope you are able to be a nun, too. Maybe we will meet one day :)
wow atraction to buddism = understand science of ending suffering, which are just thoughts. do it girl. but remember dont believe buddism unless u dont undrstand what it means.
When I was 15, I died and went to the Afterlife. My religious education up to that point was Christian but that's not what I found. It was so much more. Buddhist writings on the afterlife describe my experience. I was definitely in the Bardo. Everything that made me who I was, like my like for asparagus and my petty annoyances, fell away. Dying was like, getting back to the business of being myself. I don't mean to imply that Buddhism is the only way. I mean that for me, Buddhism is the path that will allow me to make the most of my precious human life. It's not so much an attraction to Buddhism as how I find peace and tools so I can become a better person for the benefit of myself and others. It's more than a desire it makes sense and It's a drive. I've studied many religions and belief systems in my life. None of them"fit". This does. I am studying and learning all I can. I'm 51 and who knows how much longer I have to learn here. Being a nun would allow me to devote all of my time to studying and to serve others in a deeper and more meaningful way. There is a meditation center here in DFW, it's over in Irving and now that I'm moving back to Texas permanently, I'll be attending regularly. This is what I'll be doing while I look for the opportunity for ordination. I don't drive so it's a challenge but there is a bus! Thank you all for your advice and good will.
Melissa RMT I'm a Buddhist but I just wanna tell you that once you die you can never come back..whatever just happened its just your thought its your believed ..our mind and thought is the most important in present life or also next life so keep your mind pure and happy...
Plz vist daramsala there is i think two nuneries n get admission gud luck. Or else i heard in delhi lama zompa renpoche had open one teaching centre over there.
Thank you. I've only looked at the monastery in Washington state. I read so much. I meditate, practice and learn but I understand that I must hold a certain set of vows for three years before I can ask Rinpoche for permission to become a nun. I don't get to Temple every Sunday. I will follow your advice and learn.
Not yet. Western monasteries don't have enough young nuns yet to care for older nuns and I've been told that at 51, I'm too old to receive full ordination. Then I had a heart attack (not because of the news). I feel conflicted because I don't want to inflict my medical care bills on any abbey or temple but I haven't stopped wanting to do this. I was heart broken but I haven't given up. There are other places to be a nun I just need money to make sure my bills are taken care of. In the mean time, I practice and study all I can.
I'm confused is Buddhism a religion or a inner spiritual philosophy? Do Buddhist nuns and monks believe in a higher power other than what's in themselves . do they have a God to pray to. ? What is it all about.? who is their leader after they join their community . And how does one sign up for that type of lifestyle?
there's higher power beings in buddhism. according to buddha, there's many many enlightment beings before him and there will be many many more after him but not God, so-called creator of universes or the almighty power and such !
Mich Elle To sum up in simple terms, Buddhism is about doing good, avoiding evil, and purifying your mind. Buddhists understand that this world is impermanent, emptied, and that there is no self. They train themselves to become enlightened and ego-free.
Your comment and honesty are so uplifting and beautiful. I've felt compelled to a similar life too. Perhaps you can start where you are now by setting the intention you desire in meditation/silence. And then research monasteries in Asia where you feel most drawn to... In the silence, envision the end you feel compelled to, with the feeling of its fulfillment now and you will live it. The means will unfold...so long as you feel it's done. Focus on the end, not on the means :)
this make christianity looks so retarded and showing their true evil. i know you and your god are full of jealousy, hate and angry. but please calm down. but at least can you still hide it for the sake of your young followers so they don't see how cultist inside Christianity is.
Listening to Life with KaZ I agree I don't believe in any personal god.. but I do have a personal relationship with God.. you know because yes my life was transformed but because he bares witness through signs wonders and miracles. That's why Jesus said of you don't believe me because of my words, then believe me because of the works that I do in my Fathers name. They bare witness of me. He knew without miracles that only our Creator could do, there was no proof that he represented the true and living God. The same works that we do when we lay hands on the sick and they are healed. The God of the universe has done many miracles through me. That's the difference. You never stop searching for the answer, and we have the answer and the proof to back it up. Buddah said i'm just a teacher, in search of the answer... Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. Think logically. Do you want to go to a math class and have your teacher just writing an equation on the boards? He doesn't know the answer, he can't tell you how to solve it.. just writing it up the for you. Big difference between our faiths my beloved. Praying a light goes off and I see you all in heaven
PLAIN AS PLANE what we are saying are words but these words are truth and they are life. The miracles that Jesus did were more than words. The miracles God has done through me for others through faith in the name of Jesus is not words. It's the proof. It's the only one in the universe with the power to defy the laws of nature bearing witness to the truth of Jesus Christ. What buddah has is just words. What we have are words with demonstrations of real power granted from on high. God told me to pray for a blind man with a walking stick and he came back seeing with no cane. It's not just words my friend. Praying your eyes will see the truth
Looks disenchanted with life the basic cause for her choice to be a nun. Needs deeper thinking about life, rather than escapism. Living can be a long, long time, depending on God's will. Hard to assess what will happen then There are stories of wicked older, senoir nuns too who have forgotten about being good persons even.
Plz avoid meat,egg,wine and luxury life.buddha said if you don't have any food to eat then you can eat meat. Most buddhist nuns and monks are nonveg,alcoholic married living luxury life this is bad buddhist culture from tibet.this advice is from the land of sakyamuni buddha lumbini nepal.
can anyone help me to find a korean nun who lives in japan. Name is myo ai. I'm not sure about spellings for the name. I will be greatful if anyone can help me with this. 🙏
humans chasing benefits, so natural but running after monasticism and ending up in believing 100% infallibility of man! and becoming monks to priests with lavish temples and benefits!
Bikkhuni are not nuns. They are fully ordained female monks. Nuns has fewer rules to follow and their status is much lower, they are female equivalent of male novices. Only 10 precepts to follow.
1 Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. You look terrible with short hair, you look like a man. Woman are beautiful with long hair!
nuns and monks dont worry about physical attributes and materialistism. They are past that. Thats the whole reason why buddhist monks and nuns shave their hair because they are unattached from the chain of worldy pleasures. They are free. You are in no position to tell someone, who is at peace and happiness, what to do or what not to do. Open your heart. In the end we are all humans going through similar strife trying to find salvation and peace. Bless.
@@jayangli Yes, but it applies to all woman and men who should all be Christians and Not the false Catholic church or a Buddhist. Thank you for your kind reply.
Gosh don't tell me you are one of those orthodox Christians who don't respect others' beliefs and religions and force up Christianity by saying bs like God loves you don't betray him, etc
I hope I'll be brave enough one day to do what you have done 🙏🙏🙏
she looks so happy
She also looks like Cal Ripken Jr.

I want to be a nun. I don't know where to begin. I don't have any money. What advice would you give to someone who only knows that she must do this?

In a lot of Asia nations, you don't need money to become budhist monk or nun. Just join the pagoda. (ps: never go to Korea to become budhist )
You said "...never go to Korea to become a Buddhist". Why is that?
A lot of Korean are brain washed christian, so if you are buddhist in Korea, it's a big deal.
Amazing video, amazing woman. ❤
Great
Happy 😃
I want to one day be a monk.
Hi Ven. Amy. 🙏
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu

What is it all about.? who is their leader after they join their community . And how does one sign up for that type of lifestyle?
ADDENDUM what does being ordained a Buddhist nun/ monk mean ? and who does the ordaining?
This is a very basic outline. Search your question online and you'll find many pages and videos that will answer your questions.
Buddhist is not religion, it is a truth of existence
there's higher power beings in buddhism. according to buddha, there's many many enlightment beings before him and there will be many many more after him but not God, so-called creator of universes or the almighty power and such !

How does one get to Asia without the means? I am compelled to this life.
Your comment and honesty are so uplifting and beautiful.

I am a Christian. I love Buddhist ethics, but think the metaphysics is wrong.

Dude we don't convert people to Buddhism as Christian missionaries did in Asian countries. People convert to Buddhism by their own decisions.

A shallow existence. In working life
humans chasing benefits, so natural but running after monasticism and ending up in believing 100% infallibility of man! and becoming monks to priests with lavish temples and benefits!
Haha nice joke bro
Maybe some do chase the benefits of being a Bikkhu/Bikkhuni but others don't just remember that 😄
It’s not true in every case.
Bikkhuni are not nuns. They are fully ordained female monks.
Nuns has fewer rules to follow and their status is much lower, they are female equivalent of male novices. Only 10 precepts to follow.
James Wai Phyo Hain I think you’re referring to Theravada Buddhism. In Mahayana they have female nuns that have equal status to men
如果我全力以赴地寻找真理，那我可以用一点钱交换我的信念。 我知道耶稣只是道路，真理和生命。 除了通过他而来的人，可以去天堂。 传教士从约翰福音14：6告诉我这节经文。 。
这就是为什么我在五秒钟内转换为基督教的原因。
愿上帝保佑你的小妹妹。
我相信多神的世界如同多黨的國家一樣， 不能用獨裁來體現優越信。 這也是我從基督教堂到廟裡面的根本原因。 一切隨緣， 南無阿彌陀佛。
