Cave in the Snow

In 1976, after battling with blatant sexism within the monastic order, British born Tenzin Palmo isolated herself in a remote Himalayan cave engaging in twelve years of Buddhist meditation. She faced unimaginable cold, wild animals, near-starvation and avalanches. Her goal was to gain enlightenment as a woman.

Nice documentary. Besides that she did something many might envy, to leave everything and follow the heart and mind. Many people, especially in the western world live all their lives in a struggle towards the western materialism society, there are many people who are afraid to follow their real wishes and paths in life. This documentary tells about a woman who followed her heart and did what she wanted and was supposed to do. The documentary also tells about her path towards to become a buddhist teacher and a nun. If she is recognized as such today even though she is a woman and a westerner? You will have to find that out by your self. Watch the documentary. If you are slightly inerested in buddhist religion, i recommend this.

This is something you watch if you're interested in buddhism clearly. Go for it if you are, it's an interesting story.

Giving it 4 stars.

Very interesting and insightful documentary. It takes on the question of how females are regarded in buddhist tradition, but also a personal documentary about her struggles to build a nunnery and her experiences with her buddhist practice, and then some. Recommended.
