“Silence gives you permission to go inwards”

Just out of a 7 days silence retreat at the Mahamudra Centre, a buddhist retreat centre in the middle of the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand, I talk to Venerable Khadro. She was our teacher and guide through the week of silence and lives as a Tibetan Buddhist Nun.  But what does it mean exactly to be a Mahāyāna Tibetan Buddhist Nun?
And what does it mean to go into silence for that long? I talk about my personal experiences I had during the week of silence.

We dive deeper into buddhism knowledge and learn how we can improve our life with the practice of meditation and compassion. Ven Khadro explains the six perfections of Buddhism, which are Generosity, Ethics, Patience, Joyful Effort, Concentration and Wisdom, and how we can benefit from using them in daily life. We discuss the concept of happiness and how we can achieve inner happiness based on the transformation of heart and mind. We ponder about inner peace as well as having meaning and a purpose in life and how important it is, to be clear about our own values. We talk about how we can deal with negative charged stories in our mind when they pop up and go through some tips for our daily life in modern society.
