Ilse describes transitioning from living on an Australian farm called Shalom to entering Buddhist monastic life. After enduring harsh rural conditions, personal illness, and her husband’s departure, she fully embraced Buddhist teachings under Phra Khantipālo. She sold the farm, overcame her internal emotional struggles through mindfulness and letting go, helped establish the Wat Buddha Dhamma forest monastery near Sydney, and ultimately decided to become an ordained nun in 1979.
