Delayed Ordination

Tips on Meditation and the Spiritual path - idea #168
from your Buddhism expert



It happened again. This week a lovely woman, a
long-term student and fellow sci-fi geek applied
for monastic ordination. And again I had to postpone
the application process of yet another enthusiastic
candidate. But why?






Why was her application process postponed? Because
we have no monastery for her to ordain into. As a
Lama, as a teacher it is my responsibility to:
• house,
• clothe,
• feed
• and train
all who ordain with me.

It is not that I’ve grown weary of living BELOW the
poverty level, it’s not that I seek the prestige of
founding, supporting and nurturing San Diego’s first
Buddha of Compassion Monastery and Meditation center,
it’s that earnest men and woman have sought my help
to become:
• nuns and monks,
• high Bodhisattvas
• and the next generation of teachers who will
instruct other’s in the non-sectarian path of
devotion to the Buddha of Compassion.


This is the task that has been set before me. That
is why I offer audio CDs in exchange for donations.
That is why I offer telephone-teachings in exchange
for donations. Folks already receive my FREE:
• essays,
• prayer-books,
• guided meditations
• and devotional images.
Why do they choose to make donations to my work?


Because we all long to be apart of something
important, and greater then ourselves that will
actually outlive us. We don’t all have the desire,
means or opportunity to study, practice, accomplish
or teach the Buddha’s path; BUT by financially
helping those who do; we get to be apart of
something truly beautiful.
