Would it be helpful to petition the Dali Lama to suggest that a certain percentage of the money he receives be given to nunneries that are in need?

And/ or to have him speak more of the value the nuns have to offer? I believe that in the near future the Da,I Lama will incarnate as a woman.

I'm so glad to learn more about the nunnery. It is one of our charities about which I knew so little. If i.think about reincarnation, of course I want my life to improve the lives of all others. They have been, and could be, me some day!! Thanks. Kathy

Tenzin Palmo is so wonderful! I am grateful to you and your wife for visiting her and sharing that experience with us. And for giving us all a way to help support the nunnery through this uplifting letter. Two palms together.

Dearest David,

I was thinking if you would like that I translate into Spanish your emails. I can send them to you in the tormat you want and you can post them in your website. Maybe it may increase the number of suscribers.

Just an idea.

Great to know the women are getting a real opportunity to reach their full potential. So many cultures limit women and girls lives. Thanks for uplifting stories.

Thank you David 🙏🏼 I am sure Jetsum Palmo raises this issue with HHDL but it is still a troublesome aspect of Tibetan Buddhism that I am very happy to see addressed through her work, and a focus of your work and this community. May your work continue to be inspired and inspriational.

Hi David. Good to see an article about your other charity. Interesting to see sexism is alive and well in Buddhism! Glad you decided to balance your posts. Did you need any prodding from Koala? 😅 Have a peaceful day. May the road rise to meet you and the wind be at your back 😊
