Thank you for this, Sunisa! I was unaware of Yeshé Tsogyal’s story.
My own guru, Venerable Thubten Chodron, runs a monastery called Sravasti Abbey (https://sravastiabbey.org) in Washington state, which is devoted primarily to being a place of learning and devotion for Buddhist nuns (like Chodron herself).
Over the past year, I decided to make some life changes. My heart has been opened by letting go of the feelings I held about the circumstances of my upbringing. These feelings were keeping me from taking full responsibility for myself. I love the story about the princess-- and the concepts of renunciation, responsibility and supplication. Thank you for putting this into words.

I didn’t know you practice Buddhism much less Tibetan Buddhism. I’d love to hear how you got into that!
My ex-wife actually brought me to the dharma, and I even took Refuge in 2008, though I’m much less observant these days.
Absolutely, I’d be happy to. 😊
I hope we can continue this conversation sometime 🙏🏼
Sunisa x Will come to you with some ideas APWT but for now want to sit with this - wonderful!
