She Left Her Engineering Career for a Monastery in the Himalayas

A Brazilian former engineer known as Tenzin Lamdon, now in her eleventh year of study toward the Geshema degree, speaks with the Mount Madonna School Class of 2026 Values in World Thought students about her remarkable life journey. She shares why she chose to become a Buddhist monastic, what it is like living alongside Tibetans in the Himalayas, and how a life of service and simplicity, free from modern distractions, can bring one closer to genuine and lasting happiness. Students Eli, Hans, Rosemary, and Cora offer reflections and questions, which Tenzin Lamdon answers with clear insight shaped by her years of study and practice. Her responses reveal a deep understanding of what it means to live a life oriented toward happiness and compassion. Throughout the conversation, she reminds us that the ego is not a single fixed entity but a composite of physical, emotional, and intellectual elements. Rather than clinging to guilt or rigid identity, she encourages us to move forward with awareness, striving not to harm others while embracing the reality of impermanence.
