Dear All, In January of this year Compass followed Venerable Robina into some prisons in NSW and carried out extensive interviews and filming with her at Vajrayana Institute. It comes to air this Sunday, Sept 9th.
COMPASS: KEY TO FREEDOM, ABC TV Robina Courtin, an Australian-born Buddhist nun with a powerhouse personality, believes she has the key to freedom for some of the toughest criminals in the land. No bars are worse than the prison of one's own mind, she argues. Drawing on Buddhist teachings she founded the Liberation Prison Project to help transform prisoners' lives so they can cope with incarceration and deal with the fundamental reasons they turned to crime. Compass follows Robina Courtin as she visits inmates at Long Bay and Junee prisons in NSW. Along the way we trace her own story and examine her philosophy.
