So this is (not Pema Chodron as I mistakenly had it last month) Pema Marilyn, Marilyn Silverstone, early on was a professional photographer, in fact the first woman member of theΒ Β 'Magnum Photographers' collective, before becoming ordained as a Buddhist nun.Β Β Β β’ Her close friend Vivian Kurz writes:Β Β Β She became a nun later in life and lived and worked for the Shechen Monastery in Nepal. She was called Ani Marilyn. Am amazing woman who was devoted to our teacher Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and did a lot for women in the Dharma. At the same time she kept her special humor and intelligence that charmed kings and queens and so many throughout her travels. She passed away I believe in the late 1990s." β’ Photo snapped by Allen at the New York City Shambhala Center, April 1991. She also took a few of Allen in the process (courtesy Stanford University Libraries / Allen Ginsberg Estate)Β Β Β Β #pemamarilyn #dilgokhyentserimpoche #tibetanbuddhism #shechenmonastery #buddhsim #marilynsilverstone (at New York Cty) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8cUBKnBs_-/?igshid=ls3v12rxzkkz
