SUMMARY:Postponed - Special Sunday Book Club Study Group Session via Zoom : A Book Report with Susana Matos Allongo - "Cave in the Snow"by Tenzin Palmo  - June 22\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:Postponed …stay tuned for the new date.\nSpecial Sunday Book Club\nStudy Group Session via Zoom with Susana Matos Allongo\nJune 22\, 2025\n10:00-11:30 a.m.\nSusana will present a book report on “Cave in the Snow” by Tenzin Palmo (1998)\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is the incredible story of Tenzin Palmo\, a remarkable woman who spent 12 years alone in a cave 13\,000 feet up in the Himalayas. \nAt the age of 20\, Diane Perry\, looking to fill a void in her life\, entered a monastery in India — the only woman amongst hundreds of monks — and began her battle against the prejudice that had excluded women from enlightenment for thousands of years. \nThirteen years later\, Diane Perry a.k.a. Tenzin Palmo secluded herself in a remote cave 13\,000 feet up in the Himalayas\, where she stayed for twelve years. In her mountain retreat\, she faced unimaginable cold\, wild animals\, floods\, snow and rockfalls\, grew her own food and slept in a traditional wooden meditation box\, three feet square. She never laid down. \nTenzin emerged from the cave with a determination to build a convent in northern India to revive the Togdenma lineage\, a long-forgotten female spiritual elite. \nShe traveled around the world to find support for her cause\, meeting with spiritual leaders from the Pope to Desmond Tutu. \nShe agreed to tell her story only to Vicky Mackenzie and a portion of the royalties from this book went to help the completion of her convent.
