This is a close up of the Buddhist monastery.

The eastern half is now called the Dominican Republic.

He wanted to live a long life at the monastery.

This is the border between Haiti and the Dominican republic.

You're the human responsible for the destruction... of the monastery at P'Jem.

For example, in this ancient manuscript which I uncovered in a crumbled monastery ..

And, of course, I'm not suggesting that anybody here go into a monastery.

And on the far left there is a 400 year old Buddhist monastery.

No, I'm usually pretty busy... at the monastery, praying with the other monks.

Centuries ago, a set of Katric Arks were discovered at the P'Jem monastery.

I just took walks along the monastery road and sent postcards to loved ones.

She took my hands and told me I think you should have a monastery

And then, like everyone else in our generation, we went to live in a Himalayan monastery.

My father helped those who resisted dictatorships in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and then it was the turn of Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, El Salvador, Nicaragua,

And I lived in a Himalayan monastery, and I studied with a very wise teacher, who kicked me out of the monastery one day and told me that it was my destiny it felt like Yoda it is your destiny to go to work for WHO and to help eradicate smallpox, at a time when there was no smallpox program.

Now, when we do studies we have, with other colleagues around the world, done over 8,000 interviews of people from Dominican monks, to blind nuns, to Himalayan climbers, to Navajo shepherds who enjoy their work.

So, basically like DA BOMB what Dominican American Benevolent Organization for Mothers and Babies does is, basically, we try to advocate for students who show a lot of academic promise and who also happen to be mothers like me.

And you look up at the sky through a hole in the clouds you see the monastery at the top of the Muhraka that's where you're supposed to climb now and you say, There's no way that I could possibly get there.
