What Renunciation Is and Isn't

Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo is one of the Western pioneers of Tibetan Buddhism. As a young woman in England, she was a member of the Buddhist Society and met the first Tibetan lamas who came to the West. Tenzin Palmo would move to India to explore the dharma, becoming secretary to Freda Bedi at the Young Lama Home School before taking nun ordination, then later doing 12 years of solitary retreat.

That when you find yourself a genuine teacher is when all your problems actually start….. So we must be brave. She gives such wonderful words. And it’s true, what is successful practice? What are the qualities? Looking within have we become more kind? Did we learn to be less harsh, more gentle? Hardships and suffering can be so deceptive. Of course we don’t want these things but the gentle quality doesn’t come from nowhere. Sometimes our harshness is beaten out of us, naturally. We carry lifetimes of ego clinging and bad behavior. The seeds can be purified but the residue stinks to the high heavens.

Thu je che Jetsunma for your wisdom

[@kevinjoseph517]

she was told 'women cant get enlightened' by Tibetan 'lords' and stayed loyal to a dying system.

[@DharmaTime-is-now]

Tenzin Palmo would go on to actually confront the Dalai Lama in a public forum and asked why women couldn't become buddhas or, more importantly, only had access to very limited teachings. He basically agreed it was unjust and needed to change. There's all kinds of sexism in the medieval theocratic cultural elements. Many liturgies contain some real head shaker lines. None of this is news. She's a brilliant lady who has practiced for decades with focus, dedication and most importantly, humility so she's one of the best resources on these subjects.

Does she have Kambo points on her head?

[@DharmaTime-is-now]

No, those were incense burns that were part of one of her ordination ceremonies

[@sonnymattek8732]

@@DharmaTime-is-now Thank you for clarifying! Kambo points are made with incense burns so no wonder they look similar! Thank you for posting, I love to hear her speak the dharma.
