The Venerable Lhundub Tendron wasn’t always a Buddhist nun. For most of her life, she wasn’t even a Buddhist.
She was Leslie Inman, a New Orleans native living in Charlotte, N.C., who was separated from her husband and searching, not very consciously, for inner peace.
She found it in a meditation group that taught her the fundamentals of mindfulness according to the technique developed by the famous Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh.
But there was no conversion moment. She wasn’t struck by lightning. Nor did she knowingly reject a previous religious path.
She just started noticing things.
