One of the first Western-born women to be
ordained as a novice in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, in 1964, Jetsunma
Tenzin Palmo received full bhikshuni ordination in Hong Kong in 1973. She is
known especially for having spent 12 years practicing in a Himalayan cave and
campaigning on behalf of female practitioners. Her life has been documented in
Vicki Mackenzie’s biography, Cave in the Snow, while her own books include
Reflections on a Mountain Lake and Into the Heart of Life.
In this conversation during her October 2015
visit to Hong Kong, we discussed her recent projects and developments for women
in Buddhism.
