At the tender age of 14, when most teenagers are living it up, Bodhicitta's world was shattered by her father's sudden death. She, however, found solace in Buddhism and decided to give up everything. In search the meaning of life, she came to India all the way from Australia. She has now settled in Nagpur for almost a decade and is helping the deprived sections of the society live a better life.
"Anyone interested in eastern religion knows India. It's the land of Buddha and it's my duty to physically give it back what it gave me spiritually," she said. She came to India almost 18 years back and spent her initial years meditating at Rewalsar in Himachal Pradesh. She also trained under the Dalai Lama for about four years before finally deciding to devote her life for the uplift of Dalits. "I am a part time mediator and a part time social worker. My aim is to become a perfect human being," she added with a proud smile.
