Venerable Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo - an Interview for the Christmas & New Year Symposium

Rukmini Chaitanya interviews Venerable Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo as part of the Christmas and New Year Symposium Unity in Diversity: Be the Light at the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat Bahamas. The interview was conducted on December 26th, 2022.

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.
