Buddhist Women on a Path of Spiritual Awakening
Crossing Boundaries: Ayyā Medhānandī & St. Thérèse de Lisieux
An interview in 2005 with Ayya Medhanandi about how a young Cistercian monastic who lived more than a century ago, St.Thérèse of Lisieux, blesses the life of a 21st century Buddhist nun:
"The fragrance of flowers or sandalwood blows only with the prevailing wind, but the fragrance of virtue pervades all directions."
