Tenzin Palmo delivered these talks to people, who within their highly pressured and stressful lives, are searching-in her increasing numbers for a viable means to counteract the relentless strain of the daily round and bring some peace and clarity into their lives. These people are reaching out to find a spiritual dimension to their otherwise empty, though materially prosperous existence. These talks are not sophisticated expositions of buddhist philosophy nor detailed instruction on meditation practice. They are simply words of encouragement to remind ordinary people that we all have the potential for inner transformation and we can all do it if we would only try.
