What does it mean to dedicate your life to Buddhism? Karma Tenpa is a Buddhist monk who has dedicated years to the study, practice, and teaching of this tradition.
In this conversation, we discuss how one becomes a monk, what truly changes when you decide to dedicate your life to a spiritual tradition, and what daily life is like for someone who has chosen study, meditation, and teaching as a way of life.
Karma Tenpa explains Buddhism's understanding of suffering, why compassion occupies a central place, and what meditation truly means. We also talked about something that goes far beyond Buddhism: the difficulty of self-knowledge, how to live with pain, and what we do with the parts of ourselves we don't like.
A conversation about religion, philosophy, and, above all, about a question that affects us all: how to live.

Cuando el Dalai Lama venía a la Argentina yo también asistía a uno de los centros budistas más importantes de Buenos Aires.
Y también tuve la idea de ser monje.
