Six Ways of Opening to the World: The Path of the Paramitas with Jetsunma Jamyang Yeshe Palmo

In person, and also online via Zoom.

The Six Paramitas, or transcendent perfections, are the essential practices through which compassion is cultivated and brought to fruition. In this day-long event, we will explore the Six Paramitas as a practical guide for everyday life. Far from being abstract ideals, the paramitas offer concrete ways of working with the challenges and opportunities of our daily experience: how we relate to others, respond to difficulties, engage in our work, and cultivate a more open and compassionate heart. Each paramita invites us to bring the path into the ordinary circumstances of life, transforming every encounter into an opportunity for practice.

This program is open to all who wish to deepen their understanding and practice with the paramitas.

3 Days of Teachings

The Wisdom Seat is excited to host Jetsunma Jamyang Yeshe Palmo, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher, fully ordained nun, Vajra Master and retreat master. Known for her profound blend of traditional monastic training and modern philosophical education, she bridges Eastern wisdom and Western psychology to teach globally. When Jetsunma was an infant, H.E Beru Khyentse Rinpoche and a group of Kagyu masters recognized her as the reincarnation of Karma Tsultrim Khechog Palmo (Freda Bedi/Sister Palmo), one of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche’s teachers during his time in India and the first woman to receive full ordination in Tibetan Buddhism.

Join us for one, two, or all three days in this weekend of teachings. You do not need to attend all three days to benefit from Jetsunma’s visit. 

About Jetsunma Palmo

Jetsunma Jamyang Yeshe Palmo spent nine years in a monastic university program studying all of the major subjects of Buddhism. She then followed her studies by spending nine years in closed retreat. For this reason, Tulku Sangak Rinpoche offered her the honored title of Jetsunma. She is the director of the study and practice centers of Turquoise Leaf Nunnery and Kusum Khandro Ling in Nepal. It is Rinpoche’s hope that she will be uniquely qualified to be entrusted with upholding this dharma lineage in the future. Jetsunma has been living in the U.S. for the last few years, where she previously spent two years studying psychology and Western philosophy at Harvard University. She currently divides her time between living in Montana and New York.
