' Finding True Refuge '(a short video).
Venerable Pannavati Bhikkhuni is the Co-Abbot of Embracing Simplicity Buddhist Hermitage in North Carolina. She discusses how meditation was a paradigm shift that helped her master her emotions.

Ayya Khema was born in Berlin in 1923 to Jewish parents. In 1938, she escaped from Germany with two hundred other children and was taken to Glasgow, Scotland. Her parents went to China and, two years later Ayya Khema joined them in Shanghai. With the outbreak of the war, however, the family was put into a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp and it was here her father died. She later married, had a son and a daughter, and now has four grandchildren.
