Summary

Ayya Khema: I Give You My Life: The Autobiography of a Buddhist Beggar

"My life was full of adventures, but it had nothing to do with me. Now, when I think about it, I realize that I had no influence on most of the things that happened in my life. Decisions were made without my participation, and I just followed them.
In this life I played many roles: I was a very protected child, a shy young woman in a foreign country, all alone on a freighter to Shanghai; then a wife, a world traveler, and, now, a bikuni.
I lived a middle-class lifestyle for several years, in a house with a garden, a garage and a washing machine something and I didn't even know what it was, just as I didn't know that I would find something one day - which came much, much later.

I worked in a bank in Los Angeles and had a farm in Australia where we raised Shetland ponies.
In my opinion, a newborn Shetland pony, which looks like a bigger poodle, is the cutest animal in the world that it lives only in memory. It is likely that the many changes and farewells that I experienced contributed to my understanding of the necessity of letting go. For me, the tangible symbol of this dismissal was always my hair, which I had to say goodbye to eighteen years ago contemplated on the non-ego quality. I put it aside with a feeling of relief. I begin the story I give you my life. I hope you will read it with the heart.
The verses are taken from the Buddha's sayings the welfare of human beings on various occasions.
I have been charmed by their wisdom many times.
