| bio | Ani Lodrō Palmo was one of the most senior and earliest Tibetan Buddhist nuns from the West. She was born and grew up in Vermont, USA, and went to India in the early 1960’s with a strong calling to serve humanity in the Peace Corps. While there she met one of the greatest lamas of the Kagyu tradition, Kyabje Khamtrul Rinpoche, and took her monastic vows with him. Since then she lived mainly in the East studying and practicing all the major traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, particularly under the guidance of Kyabje Khamtrul Rinpoche and Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. She received many empowerments and teachings from other lamas such as the 16th Gyalwang Karmapa, Kyabje Dudjom Rinpoche, Kyabje Dodrupchen Rinpoche, Kyabje Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, Kyabje Chatral Rinpoche, Kyabje Khunu Rinpoche, Kyabgon Sakya Gongma Rinpoche, along with many of the younger generation of Tibetan teachers. Ani la studied and practiced the Vajrayana dharma for almost sixty years and much of this time she spent in retreat. She possessed immense humility as a practitioner and was incredibility devoted, clear, and dedicated to the path of enlightenment. She also was a fierce advocate for social justice, the environment, and political democracy and equality for all. She held these values dear to her heart and expressed them candidly to us all.
