More quotes by Tenzin Palmo
Until time and space exist... I vow to come back for the benefit of other beings.
Tenzin Palmo
We have to transform those ordinary actions of our day into dharma practice because otherwise nothing is going to move.
Tenzin Palmo
In Dharma practice, the most important thing is to be very sincere.
Tenzin Palmo
My mother was a spiritualist. We had weekly séances at our house with a neighbor who was a medium and various friends, and so I was brought up with the idea that there are many realms of being all around us. So that prepared me for Buddhism, and especially Tibetan Buddhism with all its talk of different realms and dimensions of being.
Tenzin Palmo
Tibetans - at least traditionally - are so totally permeated with the dharma that they don't see any difference between dharma and everyday life, really. And therefore they enjoy it because they don't make a separation.
Tenzin Palmo
We're reborn every second, every moment.
Tenzin Palmo
One of the beauties of the Buddhadharma is there are so many approaches, and not everything is right for everybody.
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
You have to recharge your batteries.
Tenzin Palmo
Most religions have always appreciated the extreme power of concentrated thought directed toward the benefit of others, especially when that person is practicing in solitude. That's why they have contemplative orders.
Tenzin Palmo
Until you are open, you cannot receive.
Tenzin Palmo
Many people are benefiting beings, but from a dharma point of view, if you are a dharma practitioner, then the first priority is to get yourself together.
Tenzin Palmo
Nowadays, mindfulness has become a catch-all word, but the general principle of trying to be more conscious and aware in our daily life is very important. Along with this, it's helpful to contemplate some of the mind training verses which are designed to take and transform all of the problems we experience.
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
We only think about the difficult people and the horrible things that happen. That's what gets all the media attention.
Tenzin Palmo
Monastic life cuts off the distractions and emotional entanglements one becomes involved in, in the lay life.
Tenzin Palmo
If nuns begin getting more empowered, where does that leave us?
Tenzin Palmo
Meditation is for you to realise that the deepest nature of your existence is beyond thoughts and emotions, that it is incredibly vast and interconnected with all other beings.
Tenzin Palmo
Whether we're in retreat or out in the world, we should try to develop the quality of awareness as much as possible.

In the early '60s there was very little reliable information on Tibetan Buddhism. I was living in London and I had joined the Buddhist Society. For the most part, people there were either interested in Theravada or Zen Buddhism. There was almost no one into Tibetan Buddhism at that time.
