More quotes by Tenzin Palmo
Even if one isn't a committed Buddhist, it just helps us become better human beings.
Tenzin Palmo
As women become more educated and confident, they can start adding their voice.
Tenzin Palmo
We need to be sincere in our practice, but at the same time we can't take ourselves too seriously.
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
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.
Tenzin Palmo
I've always loved the Sangha. I have the deepest, deepest respect for them. I'm very sorry that in the West people don't appreciate what the monastic order is about.
Tenzin Palmo
If you lose interest in the dharma, then you might be reborn in a place where you are unlikely to meet with the dharma. And then you're completely off the path.
Tenzin Palmo
One has to find a balance. I don't say that when you leave it you forget all about the dharma or practice, but there have to be times when you throw yourself into it, and then there are times when you just relax and realize that wherever you go, you cannot get out of the dharma.
Tenzin Palmo
There is an enormous joy and satisfaction in doing what you really want to do and are best fitted to do. When it all comes together like that, it gives you a wonderful sense of well-being and satisfaction knowing that you have been doing what you were intended to do for this lifetime.
Tenzin Palmo
All of us are playing roles, and there's nothing wrong with playing roles because we have to live in this world - the problem is only when we believe in those roles.
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
The nature of the mind is completely incredible.
Tenzin Palmo
We should develop a deep appreciation for all the we have, and not waste it, otherwise we'll die with deep regrets.
Tenzin Palmo
Look at your own potential. Don't overestimate your capabilities and push too hard, or underestimate them and use that as an excuse to be lazy.
Tenzin Palmo
This precious life is our opportunity. We are not the millions and millions of other things that are not human.
Tenzin Palmo
Distraction is the main problem for us all - what the Buddha called the monkey mind. We need to tame this monkey mind.
Tenzin Palmo
In Dharma practice, the most important thing is to be very sincere.
Tenzin Palmo
I think, for East and West, the first thing we need is a good grounding in basic Buddhadharma.
Tenzin Palmo
A dog, however nice he is, and sweet-tempered, doesn't have much of a range of options. A human being does.
Tenzin Palmo
Develop confidence in your innate qualities and believe that these qualities will be brought to fruition.
