I think the problem with Western students is they're very ambitious.
Tenzin Palmo
Most religions have always appreciated the extreme power of concentrated thought directed toward the benefit of others, especially when that person is practicing in solitude. That's why they have contemplative orders.
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.

One of the beauties of the Buddhadharma is there are so many approaches, and not everything is right for everybody.
Tenzin Palmo

I think the difference is that when we drink tea, we just drink tea. But if you're in the presence of a genuine master, they don't have to do anything but drink their tea, and yet it affects you at an incredibly profound level.
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
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
Just entering into the dharma and taking refuge and bodhisattva vows is a tremendous amount of merit, but we need more and more and more.
Tenzin Palmo
People get very deep experiences and they think they're enlightened. That's not enlightenment, that's just some realization.
Tenzin Palmo
Meditation is a way to take us to a deeper level of awareness.
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
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
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
Still all the tulkus being born are men.
Tenzin Palmo
