Venerable Tenzin Palmo was born in London in 1943. She traveled to India when she was 20, met her teacher, and in 1964 was one of the first Western women to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist nun. After twelve years of study and doing frequent retreats during the long Himalayan winter months, she sought complete seclusion and better conditions for practice. She found a nearby cave, where she stayed and practiced for another twelve years. The story of her life and experiences in her remote Himalayan cave is described in the book Cave in the Snow: A Western Woman's Quest for Enlightenment by Vicki Mackenzie. Tenzin Palmo has established Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery for young women from Tibet and the Himalayan border regions. She frequently teaches around the world.
