More quotes by Tenzin Palmo
We have to transform those ordinary actions of our day into dharma practice because otherwise nothing is going to move.
Tenzin Palmo
We have produced many of our problems through our confused mental states.
Tenzin Palmo
In the texts, and as His Holiness the Dalai Lama reminds us, we should check the person's behavior not when they're sitting on a big throne, but behind the scenes. How do they treat ordinary people - not the big sponsors - but just ordinary people who are of no particular importance to them.
Tenzin Palmo
We've been human countless times and done everything you can imagine. So we've been planting all these negative seeds, and they're going to come up.
Tenzin Palmo
As a human being, we have everything we need. It's enough suffering to give us incentive to go on, but not so much that we don't know where to turn.
Tenzin Palmo
I don't think I've changed anything, but I hope that by my talks I have encouraged people in their practice. That's as much as any of us can do.
Tenzin Palmo
There are certain people who people think are enlightened. The problem with the word enlightenment is what you mean by it.
Tenzin Palmo
Actually we've got countless lifetimes, so relax.
Tenzin Palmo
I don't know why I got reborn as a female. Maybe in my past life I had some sympathy or something for women, but I certainly wasn't a female last time.
Tenzin Palmo
A lot of people with the purest motivation end up getting completely burned out. And that's because they lack the wisdom and the skill and the inner space.
Tenzin Palmo
The internet can be enormously helpful, just like books can, but I don't think it's the be all and end all for really practicing Buddhism. At a certain point, as with learning any skill, we need personal instruction from someone who is more advanced than us.
Tenzin Palmo
To become effortless takes a lot of effort. It's good to compare it to learning an instrument or learning a sport.
Tenzin Palmo
To be a nun is a very great blessing. It's a great inspiration to think that the Sangha goes all the way back to the Buddha and that so many fantastic, really truly-realized beings have been ordained. Thinking of all those members, such a wonderful, exalted and holy order - I love the Sangha.
Tenzin Palmo
There is a tremendous rise now in feminine awareness and wishing for equality, equal opportunities.
Tenzin Palmo
We need to be sincere in our practice, but at the same time we can't take ourselves too seriously.
Tenzin Palmo
If you become a monk because it's an easy life, because you're going to be fed, and sheltered and people will respect you, then that is not a very meritorious motivation.
Tenzin Palmo
Basically, I feel to spend the rest of my life doing retreat.
Tenzin Palmo
Until you are open, you cannot receive.
Tenzin Palmo
Still all the tulkus being born are men.
Tenzin Palmo
To be completely enlightened means that you're a Buddha.I don't speak of enlightenment.
