More quotes by Tenzin Palmo
People get very deep experiences and they think they're enlightened. That's not enlightenment, that's just some realization.
Tenzin Palmo
The future of Dharma is in women's hands now because they have this energy which was never really tapped.
Tenzin Palmo
I think it's crucial to recognize that we are so fortunate to have this human birth where we can practice what we want, pick up and not just read books but actually understand them. This level of education is very rare throughout history, so we shouldn't take it for granted.
Tenzin Palmo
The Tibetans have many teachings on how to die, consciously, and how to remain in the clear light, and it works. You can see it working, and they can stay in that state for hours, days, or weeks.

The nature of the mind is completely incredible.

We all have our own karma and so different teachers will be meaningful to different students.
Tenzin Palmo
When one has a decisive realization of the inherent nature of the mind, which has no ego, it has no sense of duality between oneself and the cup, and a deep sense of interpenetration of the whole dharma. Then whatever we do is spontaneously perfect Buddha activity. And anybody who is even slightly tuned in will get a very deep experience of that.

There is a tremendous rise now in feminine awareness and wishing for equality, equal opportunities.
Tenzin Palmo
I think if you really start practicing, the energy comes. I was always very happy and grateful for the opportunity to have the time, solitude and good health to be able to do it.
Tenzin Palmo
If nuns begin getting more empowered, where does that leave us?
Tenzin Palmo
I think, for East and West, the first thing we need is a good grounding in basic Buddhadharma.
Tenzin Palmo
In the beginning especially, we won't realize we're changing.
Tenzin Palmo
Develop confidence in your innate qualities and believe that these qualities will be brought to fruition.
Tenzin Palmo
If you go to any nunnery and ask them what the main obstacle is, they'll always say low self-esteem and lack of confidence. It will take time. But the difference between the first girls from Ladakh who became nuns, to the girls we have now, is very encouraging.
Tenzin Palmo
To be completely enlightened means that you're a Buddha.I don't speak of enlightenment.
Tenzin Palmo
Even if one isn't a committed Buddhist, it just helps us become better human beings.
