Ani Tenzin Palmo to visit Thailand
Monday December 11, 2006
One of the most respected female monks in the Tibetan tradition, Ani Tenzin Palmo, is coming to lecture and lead workshops in Thailand next month. At the age of 21, she became one of the first Westerners to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist nun, and later spent 12 years living in a cave in northern India, practising meditation. Her book Reflections on a Mountain Lake, based on her rigorous experiences, was recently translated into Thai by Garden of Fruition.
On January 9, she will deliver a speech on the themes of female practitioners and global healing at Chulalongkorn University, in the Faculty of Education's auditorium.
The talk will be preceded by a screening of Milarepa, a film made by a Tibetan monk, with explanatory notes by Tibetan study expert Krissadawan Hongladarom. The programme is part of the annual Sem Pringpuangkaew speech, held to honour the good-hearted doctor who himself will preside over the event.
From January 11 to 14, Tenzin Palmo will lead a retreat at Ashram Wongsanit in Nakhon Nayok. Space is limited to 50 people only. All programmes will be in English, with Thai translation by Lapapan Supamantra.
