Tibetan Buddhist Perspective

Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo

I met Jetsunma in May 2023, at Dongyu Gatsal Ling nunnery (DGL), in Himachal Pradesh, India.

What is unique about Jetsunma? After spending 12 years in a solo retreat in a Himalayan cave, She came out and travelled the world to raise funds and create a nunnery for Himalayan nuns, which conditions are often not so favourable for the practice. DGL is a wonderful and inspiring place. Jetsunma is the perfect example of spirituality in action and I'm extermely happy that this whole journey starts with Her interview.

“We should appreciate the intuitive intelligence
of women and not try to model ourselves after paradigms that are already proving to be a threat to the world. We must support each other, with joy.”
