Enjoy part 2 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
