More quotes by Tenzin Palmo
The power of thought is extremely powerful.
Tenzin Palmo
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
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
It's interesting that in those countries like Taiwan or Korea, where nuns are given equal opportunities for study and practice, they also develop great social awareness.
Tenzin Palmo
You think you're enlightened. But as my lama said, when you realize the intrinsic nature of the mind, then you start to meditate. It's not the end, it's the beginning.
Tenzin Palmo
If you just follow your inner calling, then you just go ahead.
Tenzin Palmo
We are educated. We can think. We have the freedom to think.
Tenzin Palmo
We do have the precious opportunity of this human life.
Tenzin Palmo
The dharma is the most precious thing in the world and we should put it at the center of our hearts and transform our whole lives into dharma practice. Otherwise, at the time of death, we will look back and say, now what was all that about? If we truly want to benefit others and ourselves, we have to do it. No excuses.
Tenzin Palmo
We all have our own karma and so different teachers will be meaningful to different students.
Tenzin Palmo
Until you are open, you cannot receive.
Tenzin Palmo
Basically, I feel to spend the rest of my life doing retreat.
Tenzin Palmo
If you don't find that people find you're easier to live with than you were before, if you don't find that your heart is feeling warmer toward others and if your negative emotions are not getting any better, then there's something wrong. That is always the touchstone of the Dharma practice.
Tenzin Palmo
There is a tremendous rise now in feminine awareness and wishing for equality, equal opportunities.
Tenzin Palmo
We need to be sincere in our practice, but at the same time we can't take ourselves too seriously.
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
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
A dog, however nice he is, and sweet-tempered, doesn't have much of a range of options. A human being does.
Tenzin Palmo
We have to cultivate contentment with what we have. We really don't need much. When you know this, the mind settles down. Cultivate generosity. Delight in giving. Learn to live lightly. In this way, we can begin to transform what is negative into what is positive. This is how we start to grow up.
