Description

A new biography of Yeshé Tsogyal, the mother of Buddhism in Tibet, who is regarded as an enlightened being by millions all through the Himalayan region in addition to the West and remains a powerful female role model of spiritual accomplishment and perfection.

The many layers of the heroic life of Yeshé Tsogyal, Tibet’s absolute best-known dakini and female master, are revealed on this inspiring work. Translated here for the primary time, this terma, or “hidden treasure,” presents an outer narrative of her birth, circle of relatives, and struggles in a traditional male-dominated society; an inner account of her meetings with the great master Padmasambhava; and a secret chronicle of her retreat at Chimpu and her visionary journey to Oddiyana. This accomplished translation is enriched by the refreshing insights of six recent scholars and teachers of Tibetan Buddhism, making this invaluable guide to the life of Yeshé Tsogyal a treasure for practitioners, scholars, and someone intent on the opportunity of awakening.
