Cave in the Snow: A Western Woman's Quest for Enlightenment

Talk in May @ Shambhala NYC
"The Eight Worldly Concerns

with Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo"

I was fortunate to hear Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo talk about the 6 Paramitas, in Tushita center, in McLeod Ganj. I learned insightful things from her presence and her speech.

I'm very curious about here book: "Cave in the Snow: A Western Woman's Quest for Enlightenment".

Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo was born in London in 1943. When she was 20 years old she traveled to India, and soon after met her teacher. In 1964, she became one of the first Western women to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist nun. After twelve years of study and frequent retreats during the long Himalayan winters, she sought complete seclusion. She found a remote cave, where she practiced intensively for twelve years. Cave in the Snow: A Western Woman's Quest for Enlightenment is the story of her life. Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo is a renowned champion for the rights of women to attain spiritual enlightenment. She is the founder of Dongyu Gatsal Ling, a nunnery in India.
