Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo is an inspiring figure for Buddhists worldwide for her practice, work on behalf of nuns, and teaching. Her powerful presence and wisdom are the fruits of many years of practice—including twelve years in a remote Himalayan cave—and the work of institution building necessary for educating nuns.
Jetsunma and BCBS Director of Studies William Edelglass share a conversation exploring her life, writings, the full ordination of nuns in Buddhist traditions, and the current situation of Himalayan and non-Himalayan nuns. They also discuss the education nuns receive at Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery.
