Enjoy a full length talk from Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo from the 2011-2012 Christmas Symposium.
Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo became a Buddhist while still in her teens. At the age of 20, she traveled to India and become one of the first Westerners to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist nun. The international best-seller Cave in the Snow by Vicki Mackenzie chronicles Tenzin's 12 years of seclusion in the Himalayas. In 2008, the head of the Drukpa Kagyu lineage gave her the rare title of Jetsunma (venerable master). Deeply concerned with the plight of Buddhist nuns, Jetsunma Tenzin established Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery in India. She has written two books: Reflections on a Mountain Lake and Into the Heart of Life.

Please people, listen to this lady, again and again, "you" will never be losing your time, never. You have it in you too, start clearing up the debris, the layers of delusion. Have faith, "he", "her", "the source" is within "you", too.

This is Amazing! I love that Tenzin Palmo calls it "controlling your mind" because after struggling with trying to meditate for years, i cringed at hearing the word, "meditation." Yikes! Yet, here, Tenzin Palmo explains it step-by-step, making it doable and easy. I finally can see what i was doing wrong. She has also motivated me to gain this mastery over my mind. I really appreciate this video. Thank you.

She also helped me a lot, a lot. But it was when I read somewhere that, no matter how disturbing are the first days, weeks, or even months of meditation, still you have to do them, because "you're building up" the muscle of meditation....that was a total game changer for me. Believe or not I started doing in the morning......in the toilet.....and it worked so well, `still do it today, after two years. Of course, this the only first step, "meditation is not what we do it is what we are". Rupert Spira. Search here for him, TODAY, you will not regret it. Peace and love, "you" will arrive at yourself, good journey.

It greatly increased my motivation and reminded me of the urgency not to waste the precious opportunity of this lifetime. It needs to be watched again and again, it is so rich with direction and explanation. EVERY step Jetsumna Tenzin Palmo described is absolutely accurate, I am completely overwhelmed with a renewed sense of direction and purpose.

I strongly advise anyone NOT to watch her video!. I am an English Buddhist monk who hosts a Facebook page devoted exclusively to promoting the Lord Buddha's Dhamma. Last week I posted one of her video as I thought it would be inspirational and motivsting for those interested. However,yesterday I received notification, from FaceBook that the entire video had been taken down for 'Copyright' reasons. My conclusion is that Tenzin Palmo does not want to share her experiences unless she receives financial compensation for so doing. Such an attitude flies in the face of the Lord Buddha's Dhamma. What then has this woman learned in all her years spent as a Buddhist nun? Apparently very little if anything at all!

Very educative. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.

Hi Jetsuna - In your book `Cave in the Snow`you said as a child you were sick and had obe experiences - Did you ever read Lobsang Rampa when you were a child. I have memories, I think it is called `dream yoga` - Do you remember. Guru Deva Rampa guides me - you said you have heard of people like me, but never met one

If we waste this opportunity now. what can we expect? If we do not waste this opportunity now, what can we expect? In the process of being, when this physical body gives up the life force ("Me"), is it that we move into another dimension, so too speak, which is the reality of the extention of living?

I love your videos. Your holiness don't you want to know and see where the first Tibetan Sangaram was opened solely for foreigners. This is north of Patna on the northern banks of the Ganges. Xuan Zangs lovely book led me to the Sangaram. According to him three Sramanas from across the SNOWY MOUNTAINS (From the area around 'Taro Co' lake in northern Tibet) crossed over to India on a pilgrimage to holy Buddhist sites. Indians fail to understand who they are and no one gives them food and shelter and sometimes beat them up. They were lying by the side of the road dying when the King rode up. He inquired about them and when they told him their story, the King realised a Sangaram was needed for foreigners only where Indians won't be allowed. So this can be regarded as the first Tibetan Sangaram in India. Those days Indians had pierced ears because they wore ear rings. Foreigners had unpierced ears so this Sangaram was for unpierced ears. Those days Indians didn't know about Tibet so this Sangaram was for unpierced years, meaning foreigners. Today that Sangaram is a village and that King is the local village deity. This story proves that Buddhism went to Tibet prior to Xuan Zangs epic journey to India. So Tibetans will have to study how and when Buddhism went to Tibet. Because Xuan Zang seems to infer that Buddhism went to Tibet much earlier than what the great masters claim today.

Meditative, this is enlightening, however why are there not any discourses on the reality of Dying, ofleaving this physical body! What is it like to not longer utilise the physical; What is the region or dimension alikened too of where we eventualy reside? No one has as of the present, given any formative understanding of the Dying and of how to prepare for that aspect of lifes journey?

@julianneriise8362 Жыл бұрын

Oh yes .... there are thorough and complete explanations of the natural state of the Bardo of Transitioning out of body in the Tibetan 'Phowa' teachings. Dying properly, calmly and consciously, is a tremendous step forward in reaching our goal of Enlightened Freedom. Please see Sogyal Rinpoche's 'The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying'.

I like her and her talk but one has to wonder why, if meditation makes your mind very very sharp, why no monk has filed a patent for anything. Sharp for what? The part about a calm mind through meditation I buy; the part about a happy self too. The part about a sharp mind... hmm You might be sharp or not independently of meditation.

@luccagiovani 6 жыл бұрын

Javier Bonilla monks dont care for patents, lol. Dont measure other people with your arbitrary measurement systems. Also, i doubt you did any research about monks patenting anything.

@ruwan24 5 жыл бұрын

Give you an analogy. When I was very young, I told myself that one day when I've grown up and got a job, I'll buy a house full of lego toys because I loved them. I'm close to 40 now and no I haven't bought myself a house full of Legos. It was cute to think that when I was 10 years old but the things that matter to you when you are 10 years old doesn't matter to you at 40. So, registering a patent or making a ton of money seems like a very big deal when you are in the lower states of mind. All that changes when you reach higher states of mind. The things you get to know will be so profound and you get to realise that the lack you feel as a human is due to the separation created by the mind. Hope that made sense. :-)

Sharp as in can think of an object in great detail and quickly without confusion. Also as others said, those worldly things are of little importance.This life is a short temporary situation, wasting time creating some wordly object, especially for wealth, would seem like nonsense to anyone but a worldly person.

@joa8593 Жыл бұрын

Sharp meaning alert, not intellectually clever. Ideally discursive thought naturally stops during meditation. Having said that, monks were some of the leaders in industrializing Japan along with warriors because they were educated
