מערה בשלג – סרט על חייה של הנזירה טנזין פלמו
Genre: Documentary | Produced In: 2003 | Story Teller's Country: Australia
Synopsis: In 1976 after experiencing gender discrimination within the monastic order, British-born Tenzin Palmo isolated herself in a remote Himalayan cave engaging in twelve years Buddhist meditation. Here she faced unimaginable cold, wild animals, near-starvation and avalanches, grew her own food and slept in a traditional wooden meditation box, three-feet-square. She never lay down. Her goal – to gain enlightenment as a woman.
Now dedicated to raising the education and status of nuns within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition she has embarked on an ambitious project to build a nunnery and international retreat centre in north India with the aim to help women achieve spiritual excellence.
Tenzin Palmo is a leading figure in the last frontier of women's liberation – that of equal spiritual rights.
