Ok Ed, how about this? :
This review is from: Cave in the Snow: A Western Woman's Quest for
Enlightenment
(Paperback) Tenzin Palmo's life is a story of determination, courage and
humility. In a time when few in the West had heard of Tibetan Buddhism, Tenzin
Palmo travelled to India to embark on a spiritual journey by entering the often
chauvinistic, monastic life of Tibetan Buddhism. With grace and fortitude she
showed through her actions that women had equal right and ability to walk the
path of enlightenment.
This book is an extremely digestible read and it is easy to be caught up in
Tenzin Palmos's life from the outset.
I would go as far as to say this book has the potential to become a turning
point in peoples lives.
She has also personally been responsible for the buildng of a monastry in
northern India for the exclusive use of women. Maybe her contribution to the
world is of no value to you, but half of the world's population (women) might
disagree with you.
