Born as a fishmonger's daughter in London, Tenzin Palmo has set an unprecedented example of following in the footsteps of the most dedicated Tibetan yogis by spending twelve years in solitary retreat in a cave in Ladakh, immersing herself so deeply in this tradition that she has earned the unabashed respect of traditional Asian teachers and modern Westerners alike. She is the most senior Western Tibetan Buddhist nun alive. She is currently realizing her heartfelt aspiration: she has established a nunnery solely dedicated to offering the nuns optimal opportunities to study, debate, and meditate--a privilege usually reserved for monks. "Even Tibetan masters are beginning to realize, if you want real devotion and focus, you have to look to the nuns," Tenzin Palmo says proudly. "I tell my girls, now you are given all the opportunities, you can accomplish whatever you want!" She is the author of numerous books, including Into the Heart of Life, Reflections on a Mountain Lake: Teachings on Practical Buddhism, and Understanding Emptiness.voir moins
