 Orgyen Chodren, now 36, became a nun at the age of 12. She says, “When I leave the Gonpa, I have no taste for what is happening outside, and I want to go back to the Gonpa immediately.” In response to being asked what is the most important thing in all of the Dharma, she responded: “Recognizing the nature of mind is the most important thing. Just like a river running continually under a bridge, the nature of mind underlies all phenomena.”

The Tsoknyi Nangchen Nuns in China and their gonpas were not adversely affected in any way by earthquakes or political unrest that occurred in 2008. No one knows the long-term economic impact on the Nuns that these and future unexpected events may have. Rinpoche will keep us advised as matters unfold.

In the summer of 2005, Tsoknyi Rinpoche III, accompanied by a handful of western students, traveled to the Nangchen region in Eastern Tibet.
