More quotes by 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.

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
We need to be sincere in our practice, but at the same time we can't take ourselves too seriously.
Tenzin Palmo
I never really wondered about getting from London to Lahaul. It all seemed such a natural progression. In London I felt I was in the wrong place and wanted to leave. I'd thought about going to Australia or New Zealand. It's nothing against England, but I knew I wasn't meant to be there.

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
The power of thought is extremely powerful.
Tenzin Palmo
In fact there are beautiful people in this world doing incredibly selfless acts over and over and over. Dedicating their lives completely for the welfare and happiness of others.
Tenzin Palmo
Until you are open, you cannot receive.

The internet can be enormously helpful, just like books can, but I don't think it's the be all and end all for really practicing Buddhism. At a certain point, as with learning any skill, we need personal instruction from someone who is more advanced than us.
Tenzin Palmo
The nature of the mind is completely incredible.
Tenzin Palmo
One of the beauties of the Buddhadharma is there are so many approaches, and not everything is right for everybody.
Tenzin Palmo
Develop confidence in your innate qualities and believe that these qualities will be brought to fruition.
Tenzin Palmo
We do have the precious opportunity of this human life.
Tenzin Palmo
Still all the tulkus being born are men.
Tenzin Palmo
Meditation is a way to take us to a deeper level of awareness.

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.

When I was 18 I read a book about Buddhism and, before I was halfway through it I said to my mother, I'm a Buddhist! She said, That's great. Finish reading the book and then you can tell me all about it. From that moment on I knew I was a Buddhist.
Tenzin Palmo
We're always given the message that our potential is so limited, which is so sad. Actually, our potential is infinite.
Tenzin Palmo
As women become more educated and confident, they can start adding their voice.
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.
