Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo: Atisha's Verses (3 of 4)

www.sivanandabahamas.org
Enjoy part 3 of 4 from a discussion with Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo from the recent 2014-2015 Christmas Symposium held at the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat Bahamas. The text she is referencing on mind training, called lojong in Tibetan, was brought to Tibet by Atisha in the 11th century.
Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo practiced under the 8th Khamtrul Rinpoche and became one of the first Westerners to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist nun. She founded the Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery. In February 2008 Tenzin Palmo was given the rare title of Jetsunma (Venerable Master), by His Holiness the 12th Gualwang Drukpa, Head of the Drukpa Kagyu lineage in recognition of her spiritual achievements as a nun and her efforts in promoting the status of female practitioners in Tibetan Buddhism. www.tenzinpalmo.com

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.

[@liznorth4028]

it is so funny to me that they ask her questions as if she knows the future... :)

[@stan8]

Think for yourself, there is no OTHER authority!

[@lah6739]

She is not an authority.

[@stan8]

Nothing she says is factual!!! It is all debatable!! Look for yourselves.

[@lah6739]

Feel free to debate this.

[@aquamarinedream8304]

''Dissolve their bodies into rainbows and leave nothing behind but their bodies and hair''??? All of this was brilliant except for that crock. What BS are you spouting, Tenzin?? Stay empirical!

[@woodbirddd]

Do some research about this before you criticise. For example check up on verifiable relics left after cremation by highly evolved spiritual beings (not only in Buddhism). There is much more to life than just the physical dimension.
