Question asked by Wondering
Dearest Rinpoche, thank you for posting updates about your health condition…and thank you for answering my question about ways to clarify a feeling about taking on a monastic life. I will be ordering the book you noted in your response. I feel a sense of relief and deep gratitude that I am able to receive guidance from you about this. It all feels risky, leaving the life I have known, but at the same time, something about it continues to pull me in…knowing there is a way to be of benefit beyond simply for my own self-preservation. Thank you again for your response. It helps me to validate this feeling, that I'm not going crazy or something!? Rinpoche, can you share a bit about the "benefits" of ordination as it relates to one's karma? How does taking on monk/nun vows relate to "purification" of one's karma in this and previous lifetimes? Or maybe that is a misconception on my part. My apologies if the question is unclear. Palms together for offering Dharma and support in all directions and in timely, skillful ways Rinpoche, Wondering
Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.
