Reflections On A Mountain Lake

by Ani Tenzin Palmo

Palmo is a contemporary Buddhist who has spent a great deal of time, including a solid three-year stint, in complete silence. She lived for 12 years on the snow line, in a little cave in the Himalayas. This book is a collection of her thoughts on Buddhism, and a practical guide in how to be silent. She has this commitment that ties with me, because she is interested in finding about the place of the female in the Buddhist tradition.
