MURFREESBORO — MTSU
alumna Dolma Johanison, whose personal path has taken her from toting a gun to
becoming a nun, will be the guest on the next edition of the “MTSU On the
Record” radio program.
Host Gina Logue’s interview with Johanison will air from
5:30 to 6 p.m. Monday, July 28, and from 8 to 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 3, on
WMOT-FM (89.5 and www.wmot.org).
Johanison graduated from MTSU in 1988 with a bachelor’s
degree in criminal justice. Her career includes a stint with the Army National
Guard, a job as a criminal analyst at the Pentagon, and her current profession,
an acupuncturist in Poolesville, Maryland.
However, she considers her conversion to Buddhism to be the
defining moment of her life. In 2008, she took more than 200 vows at Poolesville’s
Kunyang Padyul Choling temple to become a nun, dedicating her life to
alleviating suffering wherever she finds it.
“We all possess what is referred to as ‘the Buddha seed,’”
Johanison said. “And ‘the Buddha seed,’ upon watering and nourishment, will
grow and flourish internally, reaching our spiritual attainment, ascending to a
higher level of being.”
