I came across a moving article by His Eminence Tsem Tulku of Gaden monastery. He rejoices in one of his long-time student’s decision to become a nun and explains what it means for her and for him. He expresses his love for all of his students ordained or lay.
I think in some ways he speaks on behalf of all our Dharma teachers who shower us with their immeasurable, unconditional love.
