Tenzin Palmo (comic #805)
Posted on December 5, 2025 by liz

Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, a wonderful Tibetan Buddhist, founded Dongyu Gatsal Ling in Himachal Pradesh, India, in 1999, the first nunnery dedicated to supporting nuns who wish to learn and become enlightened rather than be handmaidens of monks. My mum contributed to the founding of the nunnery before her death back in 2001. It’s wonderful to see the progress that’s been made since then. 

I was in a bit of struggle town last month and Jetsunma’s words have been very grounding, these words in particular.  https://www.youtube.com/@jtenzinpalmo 

Thanks to all my patrons and a special big extra thanks to Kate Webb, Erik Owomoyela, Stuart Barrow, Jesse the K, Brian Fies, Jay Hedtke, and Xander Odell. 

Good things,

Liz
