Manjushri spoke to the elves, a blog to awake inner awareness with the nature of our mind and environment

Welcome to this space of reflection.

My name is Lobsang Kunsang, a Buddhist nun of the Tibetan tradition since 2006. Guided by masters such as Geshe Gyampa Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, Kiabje Dagri Rinpoche , and others, who have opened the path of Dharma for me.

I am just a simple buddhist nun whose spiritual journey has been nourished under the guidance of wise Spiritual Masters.

Through listening and studying their teachings — and with the support of my own sensitivity — I felt the call to create this blog,

as a way to reconnect with ourselves, with each other, and with the planet

The name of this blog, Manjushri has spoken with the elves, carries a deep meaning. As a Buddhist nun, I believe that nature is not just a collection of visible elements and particles, but that it also holds unseen entities, made of light bodies, that our eyes cannot see and are connected to every corner of this planet. Along with this, when we observe nature, we can sense a balance and movement that seem to suggest a hidden wisdom, as if the Earth itself is filled with intuitive knowledge.

I chose Manjushri, the Buddha of supreme wisdom, because he represents the perfection of wisdom that understands the nature of all things. I imagine that, like a breath of universal wisdom, he would whispered meaning into the very particles of our planet. In this blog, I hope to explore this connection between spiritual wisdom and the wisdom of nature, inviting anyone to reflect on how we can live in harmony with all that surrounds us.

A core aspect of this harmony is the subtle, often hard-to-grasp principle of interdependence. Whether or not we can call plants sentient beings, this does not change the fact that the interdependent web of life operates fully. The harmony between our perceptions, subconscious, environment, animals, and plants is undeniable. We cannot escape it, even if we try to ignore it. Rediscovering this interdependence in the world around us invites us to look within and reconnect with the true nature of our own minds. This internal connection is what binds us profoundly with the external world.
