The Guardian profiles Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, the Tibetan Buddhist nun of the Drukpa Lineage of the Kagyu school who founded the Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery in Himachal Pradesh, India. Bibliophiles out there might also be aware of the popular book Vicki Mackenzie wrote about Jetsunma’s solitary retreat experience: Cave in the Snow: Tenzin Palmo’s Quest for Enlightenment.
