Simple, profound truths are the realm of this Buddhist nun. Her message?
The gift of happiness truly lies within our own hearts and minds. Gen
Kelsang Nyema, exuding a peacefulness that immediately connects with the
audience, starts by asking three questions: Are you having a good day?
Why? Tomorrow, would you rather have a good day or a bad day? She
teaches that we cannot put our happiness at the whim of other people and
of circumstances. If we want to be happy, we have to "stop outsourcing
our happiness to other people" and cultivate a source of inner peace.
What happens next is quite astounding. The whole crowd of 350+ people
proceeds to meditate with Nyema. There's a little squirming at first,
but as she leads the audience through a calm citation of how to rest the
mind, audience members feel a collective relaxation flow into the room
and through the people. Fascinating! Refreshing.
