Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo on Kindness

I like what she has to say. About kindness and having a good heart. Such wisdom.

[@s.c.1494]

She is an incredible being! I had the honor years ago to attend a discourse by her in Berkeley CA and she was full of energy and sincerity. What left in my mind permanently is not much of what she talked about that evening but what she did that displayed the concept of equality of all sentient beings (眾生平等) in Buddhist teaching. After the discourse she was available for one-on-one question for which people lined up. In that line there were laypeople as well as monastics and as a layperson I felt like I should be quick with my question because there were monastics waiting behind me. I mean, after all, they are the "professional" spiritual practitioners and their questions bear more importance than mine. So naturally I expected (a projection perhaps) Jetsunma would take more time and seriousness with the monastics. Well was I wrong about it. Jetsunma was kind and patient with everyone, devoting full attention to whoever was in front of her. When she talked to me, I felt she was fully present with me, not a slight bit of impatience or rush from her. She listened attentively and gave her advice. She made sure you understand her and that you have no other questions before she moved onto the next person (she literally asked "dear, do you have other questions?"). She was fully engaged, alive and passionate yet there was this calm and centerness that was palatable when she looked into your eyes...... Wish I have another opportunity to see her in person again. 🙏

Love her! There are so many male spiritual leaders etc with huge followings (tired of them) and very little females spiritual leaders talking about the same topics, doing it so articulate and kind and so understandable for everyone, but they do not have the same representation and following as males do. Tenzin Palmo thank you for defending female form and restoring balance in human universe!

Wonderful ! The "love your neighbour as yourself" was incorporated into the reformed buddhism in the Gandhara period, the buddha became the World Saviour, and compassion from Amitabha, Amitayus became central for the Mahayana, never to leave it ! As Shinran says: we are passionate fools, trusting the Great Compassionate Vow of Amida. Wonderful.

To bear in mind that everybody is hurting from things they are not talking about so be kind. It can be put into practice on a daily basis.

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.
