More quotes by Tenzin Palmo
One of the beauties of the Buddhadharma is there are so many approaches, and not everything is right for everybody.
Tenzin Palmo
We do look for inspiration amongst our own sex. Why not? You go into temples and they're full of all the lineage lamas who are male. What message does that give to a young girl, except that somehow she got trapped in the wrong body because of bad things she did in a past life?
Tenzin Palmo
People get very deep experiences and they think they're enlightened. That's not enlightenment, that's just some realization.
Tenzin Palmo
I'm glad that I'm female.
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
Sometimes people come and they have so much pain and confusion in their eyes... what to do? A few words is a little bit of balm but doesn't really solve the deep disease within.
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
I think we females have a lot of work to do for each other.
Tenzin Palmo
When I was in retreat I just did my meditation sessions and, in-between, reading and things I had to do.
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
Doing retreats, getting personal teachings from time to time from inspiring teachers, all of this helps to recharge our batteries. Then we get inspired and can carry what we've gained into our daily life, which is very important.
Tenzin Palmo
In the very deep darkness of this world, little pinpoints of light show up very brightly and can shine a long way.
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
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
The Buddha always emphased the important of good friends.
Tenzin Palmo
You have to recharge your batteries.
Tenzin Palmo
The Buddha said that samsara by its nature is painful. He didn't say it was a joyride.
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.
Tenzin Palmo
Basically, I feel to spend the rest of my life doing retreat.
