Episode No. 3: Personal Stories of Lineage, Empowerment, and Progress

For the first time Lama Tsultrim speaks publicly about her family lineage of Buddhism and the research she has been doing in particular around her grandmother who was the fifth person to receive a PhD from Harvard Radcliffe. While working on her memoir, Places She Lives., Lama Tsultrim has been tracking the origins of Buddhism in America, leading back to Thoreau and Emerson.

Topics Discussed:

  • Lama Tsultrim’s background
  • Lama’s grandmother’s role in Lama’s introduction to Buddhism
  • How the patriarchy influenced Lama’s grandmother’s education
  • Why the study of your own lineage can help you tap into your inner wisdom
