Biography
Tenzin Palmo was born in London in 1943. She travelled to India when she was 20 where she met her teacher. In 1964, she was one of the first Western women to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist nun. After 12 years of study and doing frequent retreats during the long Himalayan winter months, she sought complete seclusion. She found a cave, where she stayed and practised for another 12 years. "Cave in the snow: A Western Woman's Quest for Enlightenment" is the remarkable story of her life.
