On the Back:
How an Englishwoman, the daughter of a fishmonger from London’s East End, became a Buddhist legend and a champion for the rights of women to attain spiritual enlightenment.
In 1976 Diane Perry, by then known by her Tibetan name, Tenzin Palmo, secluded herself in a remote cave, 13,200 feet up in the Himalayas, cut off from the world by mountains and snow. There she engaged in twelve years of intense Buddhist meditation. She faced unimaginable cold, wild animals, near-starvation and avalanches; she grew her own food and slept in a traditional wooden meditation box, three feet square — she never lay down. Her goal was to attain enlightenment as a woman.
A proportion of the royalties from this book was donated towards the completion of Tenzin Palmo’s nunnery.
Care of Dharma (Buddhist) Books:
Dharma books contain sacred teachings and should be treated with respect. When not in use, keep them in a clean place, preferably on a high shelf. Avoid placing them directly on the floor or in places where they might be mistreated. If a Dharma book becomes damaged or worn, consider offering it to a Buddhist centre for proper handling or respectful disposal. By caring for these books, we honour the wisdom they contain and the path they illuminate.
