One of the beauties of the Buddhadharma is there are so many approaches, and not everything is right for everybody.
Tenzin Palmo
It's unlikely that you were a frog in a past life.
Tenzin Palmo
Everyone should not be ordained, but for those who really feel that the only thing that matters in this world is the Dharma, then it is a logical step to adopt a form of life that automatically precludes worldly distractions.
Tenzin Palmo
When Tibetan lamas die they stay in a realization of clear light nature of the mind for several days or weeks.
Tenzin Palmo
There are many wonderfully qualified teachers out there, but that doesn't mean that each teacher is suitable to the same person, anymore than people fall in love with the same person.
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
Meditation is a way to take us to a deeper level of awareness.
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.
Tenzin Palmo
The Buddha always emphased the important of good friends.
Tenzin Palmo
We have produced many of our problems through our confused mental states.
Tenzin Palmo
You see people swimming, and you think, oh, how wonderful to swim. But most people stand on the edge swaying back and forth, afraid to jump. They don't think they can swim.
Tenzin Palmo
The purpose of dharma is to help your mind to expand, to grow, to clarify. It should uphold us and create an inner sense of peace, joy, and clarity.
Tenzin Palmo
Caves are beautiful things you know. They're thermostatically controlled - warm when it's cold out and cool when it's warm. Very quiet. Nobody there. Especially in the winter - it was perfect. Also, because it's a cave, you can't do much with it.
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 just follow your inner calling, then you just go ahead.
Tenzin Palmo
Obviously the dharma is every breath we take, every thought we think, every word we speak, if we do it with awareness and an open, caring heart.
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
I remember asking my mother if she believed in reincarnation and she said that that sounded very sensible, and I thought, yes, it does to me too. So I always believed in it. I can't remember when I didn't.
Tenzin Palmo
Even if one isn't a committed Buddhist, it just helps us become better human beings.
Tenzin Palmo
The nature of the mind is completely incredible.
