- Tibetan Buddhist nun Venerable Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo shares basic Meditation techniques to calm the mind and to focus better. She also shares how you can transform your life into an ongoing Dharma practice through cultivating qualities such as Mindfulness, Patience, Generosity, Compassion and a good heart towards all.
Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo (born 1943) is a bhikṣuṇī in the Drukpa Lineage of the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. She is an author, teacher and founder of the Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery in Himachal Pradesh, India. She is best known for being one of the very few Western yoginis trained in the East, having spent twelve years living in a remote cave in the Himalayas, three of those years in strict meditation retreat.
Vicki Mackenzie, who wrote Cave in the Snow about her, relates that what inspired the writing of the book was reading Tenzin Palmo's statement to a Buddhist magazine that "I have made a vow to attain Enlightenment in the female form - no matter how many lifetimes it takes".
Filmed at Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery in Singapore on 11th January 2020.

Buddha: No one can harm you more than your own mind untamed. No one can help you more than your own mind wisely trained. This video is wonderful! As a Mindfulness Trainer it resonates so much with me! Thank you!
Truer words were never spoken
I don’t know what I have stumbled Into but I am so thankful I have found this
You should she's the best.
oooh your fortunate good karma 🙏😊
A wise woman who has looked deeply into the spiritual life and has persevered on the,path..Her determination is a great example of her non dogmatic words..thankyou
Thanks to UA-cam that we can learn from such great teachers - just imagine what we are hearing today is something this Divine Monk learnt over decades ! 🌹🌹💐💐💐🌷🌷❤️🙏🏻
Wonderful
Thank you Venerable for your enlightening sharing! I learn that in wishing all others well and be happy, I do not impose on them what I deem to be signs of happiness or behaviors that they should exhibit. Such as when I smile at others, if they do not wish to smile back; let it be. I will just wish them all Well and Be Happy. And to remember that when there are people around us (our aging parents or siblings; family) who don't say what we want them to say, do what we want them to do...these are our opportunities where we can really practice and cultivate the important qualities to fulfill our human potentials. Cultivating kindfulness, mindfulness, awareness, patience, gratitude and compassion. Om Mani Padme Hum
Very clear and effective in daily life
Thank you to the organizers, the film crew and the monastery for posting this most valuable Teachings...🙏🏽🌟
Loved the patient talk and the capstone definition of 'kindfulness'. ❤
Peace be upon you beautiful soul. Everyone wants to be a peaceful soul like you. Big thanks to you
What a loving and kind human being. Amazing.
"Every single person that you meet, is the most important person in the world, at that moment"
😇
Totally agree!
She's a hypocrite. Who is rude and condescending to people she meets.
@@yoya4766 I've met her and spent time with her several times. Never once, did I see this in her. Perhaps you need to look at your own projections.
@@buutich1 perhaps you can think of something more original to say and I may consider it.
I have watched this so many times.
Thank you for making this talk available. Great pointers on meditation and mindfulness. Love the simplicity and love.
Kindfulness - I AM LOVING AWARENESS!
Feel the body, look at your mind, just be HERE.
We train our mind to be aware of what’s happening inside us, then we can change it and that’s how we transform.
Thank you, Jetsunma 🤍
A wonderful, very interesting video of a special nun who made it possible for other nuns to be recognized and valued.
Thank you for this video.
I am very grateful to you Jetsunma and will always be.
Seek and Ye shall find.
I needed to hear this for so many reasons. I am very grateful for this. ❤️☀️💫🌹☮️☀️🙏
❤ this is wonderful I know she is around 80 years old but her voice is so young and vibrant. I know a few 80-year-old women and they are not like this nowhere near. I love her!
Thank you Jetsunma. Reclaiming the mind...breathe, 30% and Awareness without judgement...
Brilliant, simple and partical lessons.
I am always with you. This is what was spoken to me in my mind when I first meditated. I am going to go further . Thank you .
"I Am Loving Awareness" became Ram Dass' singular teaching in his final years. I'm happy to know it's origin.
I watched a Buddhist lecture terence mckenna gave and in part of it he said that he heard Ram Dass say this the last time he saw him before he died and it’s echoed in my head ever since. It made a real impression on me! I could only wish to reach such a place in life to have such an attitude while passing away.
Awesome person her books got through some obstacles. May all sentient beings witness this profound brilliant glory. Chumpa Chogong

36:33 -> very very important and useful step in our spiritual lives, because normally we are so identified with our thoughts and feelings...
So the ability to step back and observe our thoughts and feelings... as not me and mine.
(First must have clear awareness of breathing, can't skip a step).
We are not our monkey mind, if we were-we could not step out and observe the mind stream means we are not the mind stream - there are more levels beyond the conceptual.
Normally we are so immersed in thinking we don't know there is space there - other parts not immersed in thought.
3 times an hour -> what is the mind doing at this time? Be aware of what state the mind is in at this time.
Much merit venerable
5:45 we aren't much different than the average baboon, when we aren't mindful of our monkey ass mind! Thank you Jetsunma for the clear reminder ❤
Great. Sadar pranam
Thank you for the gift of your message.
Venerable Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo this is super. THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED. Inspiring and deeply informative. Om Ah Hum
Really interesting lecture, great insight. I have to mention though that humans literally are monkeys in the same way that ducks are birds or dogs are canids.

It's an interesting perspective. In the Vedic tradition as Prashant Trivedi teaches a different perspective: First is to train our human body as our human body is slower than our mind, so it's easier to control. We train our human body thru centering/meditating. Once our body is centered, our mind will be more balanced and when both our body and mind are functioning better they both are in alignment with the spirit. He called this being coherent. As far as job goes, he said, our main job on this earth plan is to control our body.
The body ages, gets sick and dies. The mind never ages, gets sick or dies. I guess it depends on what you are striving for.
Enjoying the state of happiness is as worst as a thing of suffering in the misery therefore that must also be left behind and maintain neutralness. That means be in the state of mind in between of being unhappy and being happy or content or confident or satisfied or fulfilled. Just like a vehicle at neutral gear and is poised free from going reverse or forward.
She looks very unhappy. And she has aged badly. Hard life.
The mind also is enlightened LEFT-HAND Tantra, the mind the body and the spirit are one take all of samsara into nivarna and it will be redeemed. That is also Buddhism.
I wonder if her greatest Gift is TEACHING. Not everyone who is Holy is a great Teacher - She is.
Very educative. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.
I like her I model to follow
We all are just visitors on this planet. If we can’t help others, at least try not to hurt anyone.
the most effective meditation method for taming monkey mind is an ancient Chinese method called standing still,its an open eyed meditation done stood upright in comfortable position,i tell you this with ten minutes a day just listening to the breath using this method,taming of the mind is absolutely guaranteed in a very short space of time,the mind centers,it breaks the past/future time continuum of the mind,it is that which pulls a person in two,this method wins the battle of the klishes very easily,theres an easier method find a buddah,his company will do this for you
I have been wondering for a long time why I can’t connect with her. Not her teaching, she speaks the true and share Buddhism wisdom. The problem come from me not her! I feel better just writing this. Bless ✌🏻
Rest and just be.
@@melissasnow2980 Deep!😬
maravilhosa
who am I ,the clue is in the name,the buddah of compassion and the buddah of boundless light live in the uk
I came to mindfulness, Buddhism, Taoism, Zen … through the 11th step in Alcoholics Anonymous. I was searching for a defense against the first drink. Something to stop the thoughts, the compulsions. I have criticized the business type use of mindfulness, but I don’t think one could have a honest daily practice, one which would ostensibly achieve a business type benefit, without appreciating the teachings. Putting aside the occult (on which I have no opinion), is it possible to practice mindfulness as I stated and want to use it for “evil” or even personal greed/gain?
There is a reason we have a mind so we can communicate to fellow human beings. Telepathy is would unbearable to live with and we would be reacting only.

I didn't know there was such a thing as a drink elephant? Hopefully that's just a metaphor.
Apparently elephants will purposely go after fermented fruits.. so no. Real elephants do on occasion get drunk. Weather it’s to the degree people do, or the same type is something we can’t know.
She is Buddha
Anyone can advise, how can I meet or find her? I don't have a chance to meet her in Singapore. Hopefully she come again and I can meet her personally. Appreciated . 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Tango, you can refer to the website for more information: tenzinpalmo.com/jetsunma-tenzin-palmo/jetsunmas-teaching-schedule/, however all events have been cancelled for now so you might want to follow her Facebook page facebook.com/jetsunmatenzinpalmo/ for now. Thank you!
Hi Tango, you can visit her at her nunnery in North India after the lockdown ends. Refer to the website, and you can meet with her for one hour. Good luck! :)
@@sophiyasharma8657 appreciated. Can u email the link to me? Benade.biz@gmail.com
Tango: You can write to her at Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery, Village Lower Mutt, P.O. Padhiarkhar, Via Taragarh, District Kangra (HP) 176081, INDIA.
@@viviantruong8708 thank you so much. Really appreciated. Hope I could have opportunity to link up. 🙏🙏🙏. Do take care and stay safe.
I met this woman, didn't know who she was but as she looked familiar I enthusiastically and respectfully asked if she lived at a temple I visited in London. She said no, somewhat puzzled I began to ask where she was based, when she arrogantly dismissed me, as though shooing me away, saying I can't talk I have to go. I didn't act like I was minding my own business going to my car and she came in front of me about to get into her chauffeur driven car.
My point is that whilst they put on piety when in an audience with the Dalai Lama or fake wisdom on camera. If you encounter them in person they are worse than ordinary people, who would generally give you the time of day. These supposed religious people have more vices than the rest of us, and gargantuan egos. This happened at a small celebration of select people for the Dalai Lama's birthday. Hence people truly involved with Buddhism, not some random people.
People find your own way, don't listen to these charlatans in robes because they're in it only for themselves and will not help you.

Perhaps she was genuinely busy. Did you expect her to prostrate in front of you?
@@carlallcott4067 Did you learn comprehension at school?
@@yoya4766 may you be free from suffering soon 🙏🙏🙏
She is all about the fame. Blew off her family for this. Pathetic. She looks so unhappy.
So just because she didn't treat you the way you thought she should you think she is a charlatan? You clearly had a preconceived idea of how monastics should behave. Take good a look at yourself.

Mindfulness in army? Sad. We should be so mindful that we would dissolve all armies around the world.
So we're supposed to have awareness without judgment, but then we're trying to banish "stupid" (her word) thoughts..? I'm really confused here..
Hi Tim, I'm not a meditation expert but from my limited understanding, you can simply remain aware of your thoughts and just watch them come and go, don't need to actively block or banish them. You can watch this video from some additional advice: ua-cam.com/video/thcEuMDWxoI/v-deo.html , thank you!
@@sangha4423 thank you for the response.. and you're right, she didn't really talk about banishing thoughts, that was a bit of a red herring in what I wrote, as I realise, or I am learning that meditation isn't about just clearing the mind.
I was just confused because it seems like she is contradicting herself when she says:
1. Step back from getting caught up in thoughts. Instead, look at them without judgment
And then on the other hand:
2. (Some of the) thoughts from the monkey mind are "stupid"
If she's saying the thoughts are stupid, then this isn't non-judgment
@@jiminy_cricket777 I see, maybe she spoke of it in such a manner for the sake of presentation. I would simply recommend keeping an open heart and non judgemental ease whilst you meditate. If you wander off in thought, just breathe and come back to your awareness. Slowly, it will become easier. Thank you.
I think the problem she is addressing is that the mind is easily distracted and influenced (polluted) by everything experienced by our senses, as well as the beliefs and cultural behaviors we naturally adopt in the society in which we are raised. Thus, we do often have "stupid" thoughts. The trick is to be aware of (not banish) those thoughts. The result is that we 'train the monkey mind' to observe and recognise the thoughts that might cause us to react in ways that are not beneficial or benevolent.
Why such fixation on the mind???? What about the heart??? Isn't the heart more important???
The heart is not independent from the mind.

Your holiness. You are a Nun. We all know the first Nun to be ordained by the Buddha was Prajapati Gautami. The Lichavies of Vaishally got together and donated money to make the new living quarters for the newly ordained Nuns. So the structure which the Lichavies made will be the first NUNNERY IN THE WORLD. You are a Nun. Don't you think it is important that the world, especially the world of NUNS be interested in locating the exact spot where that NUNNERY once stood. I have found it. It is within Amrapali's compound, and the compound is huge. Won't you be interested in showing the world where that NUNNERY stood. Doesn't Maha Prajapati Gautami, Amrapali, and the 500 Nuns that were ordained by the Buddha, deserve recognition of that sort from the world. Doesn't the world deserve to know where that Nunnery is. I am an ordinary unknown researcher. I don't have the power to take it to the world. You have the power and popularity. Buddhists listen to you. Just by visiting the spot, that ancient nunnery will come alive.
How foolish! You cannot tame any part of mind. Humor me.
Thank you
Thank you
