Juanita Brigid McCarron Shares Her Spiritual Story

In a world of diverse spiritual paths, finding one’s true home can be a profound and life-changing experience. Join us on an exploration of Juanita Brigid McCarron’s journey into the heart of Dharma practice. In an interview with Robert Thomas, Juanita shares her deeply personal voyage, reflecting not only on the events that shaped her path but also on the inner transformations that have touched her soul.

From her early days as a curious and unconventional child, to unexpected encounters with luminous wisdom in the presence of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Juanita’s story is nothing short of remarkable. Her journey traverses the realms of politics, activism, and the search for deeper meaning, ultimately leading her to Vajrayana Buddhism.
But most importantly, witness the moment when Juanita finds her true spiritual home at Tara Mandala, under the guidance of Lama Tsultrim Allione. Her experience of relief and joy in finally “seeing herself” in Buddhism is a testament to the power of inclusivity and the reemergence of the Sacred Feminine.

“It’s what I’ve been looking for my entire life. It incorporates all the things that I’d felt so deeply in my being, like in my cellular structure from my grandfather, from being a kid hearing all about the divine mother and the nature of that. And what does ‘form is emptiness, emptiness is form’ mean?” ~ Juanita Brigid McCarron
