Tenzin Palmo: The Greatest Threat

At the age of 20, Ven. Tenzin Palmo left her home in London for India to pursue her spiritual path. There she met her guru, His Eminence the 8th Khamtrul Rinpoche and became one of the first Westerners to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist nun. In 1976, seeking more seclusion and better conditions for practice she found a cave in the Himalayan Valley of Lahaul where she lived for 12 years, the last three in strict retreat. In 2000, she founded the Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery to give young nuns of the Drukpa Kagyu Lineage the opportunity to realize their intellectual and spiritual potential.

I don't agree that the earth is in crisis. The earth has been here for 4 billion years, and will be here for many more. When we've killed eachother off the earth will restabilise itself and be fine.

I think the point is that if we want to continue living on this planet as a species we have to respect it otherwise we will be the ones to suffer (well, our children).

Its a political and moral message. We should be content with what we have and stop demanding "things" that are destroying our world.

[Goldcortex]

its not the peoples fault. its mindcontrol by ELF weapons and nanochemicals- I call it spiritual manipulation.

@anatoriac maybe she meant 'earth' as not the earth itself but Our world.
