Teachings on meditation and Buddhist philosophy from the Western nun portrayed in Vicki Mackenzie's best-selling biography, 'Cave In The Snow'.
In 'Reflections On A Mountain Lake', Tenzin Palmo draws on her experience of meditating in a cave for 12 years to explain how we can develop our fundamental awareness. Her advice is characteristically direct and practical: "the essential thing is to learn how to develop a practice which you can live with moment to moment in your everyday life".
Tenzin Palmo explains how to develop a basic meditation practice, and shows how different meditation practices can help us deal with painful and troublesome emotions like anger, fear and jealousy. She introduces the core principles of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, with clear explanations of karma, reincarnation and the tantric tradition. She also explores the traditions of great female practitioners and discusses how these traditions are being maintained today.
'Reflections On A Mountain Lake' will appeal to readers of 'Cave In The Snow', and to anyone interested in learning more about Tibetan Buddhist meditation practices and philosophy.
