Course Overview

A Devoted Path: Wisdom From Tibetan Buddhist Nuns features interviews with Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo and Tsunma Aileen Barry. Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, a Buddhist nun for 40-plus years, has been a leading pioneer in the advancement of women in Tibetan Buddhism. Tsunma Aileen, a Buddhist nun of 14 years, renounced her life as a householder to take up a life of service. This is an opportunity to sit with them, learn from them, and unpack broad questions surrounding meditation, compassion and forgiveness, prayer, and overcoming obstacles on the spiritual path. Anyone can benefit from these conversations, no matter their gender or path.
