End of the day

05:00pm > Break

At the end of the afternoon, we have an hour of breathing space.

3 little nuns sitting

We often sit down outside to discuss. We really like to meet up and talk about all kinds of things. It is very nice after a good day studying. Generally our discussions end in a laugh.

3 nuns discussing 3 nuns playing

06:00pm > Homage to Buddha

all the nuns recitingAfter the sunset we all get together in the main room of the convent, to declaim some suttas in order to pay tribute to Buddha.

 
Sometimes, our mother superior gives us a teaching, She particularly explains to us the advantages of having a good behaviour. And in order to have a better understanding she tells us very interesting stories which took place in Buddha's time.

Try to be a noviceun for a while. Even if it is for few days this could be a rewarding experience.

I want to teach dhamma.

You should study the dhamma because you can find the answers to the most important questions and the meaning of life. Buddhism is the straight way to wisdom.
