(SYRACUSE, 2018) Huyen Pham renounced the world at 14 years old in Vietnam where she was born and raised. For a son to renounce the world brings great honor to the family, while a girl who renounces the world to become a nun brings little prestige to the family and can even be embarrassing. "I felt like it was my destiny, so I went against their will." She recounted.
(SYRACUSE, 2018) Huyen meditates at least twice a day after chanting and saying prayers. It is an essential practice for individuals on the path to enlightenment. Meditation emphasizes the combination of insight and compassion. Some schools of Buddhism say that the highest level of meditation can even help one achieve out-of-body experience.
