Więcej o książce

Through her own story of loss and spiritual seeking, paired with mandala meditations and rituals, bestselling author Lama Tsultrim Allione teaches how to embody the enlightened, fierce power of the sacred feminine—the tantric dakinis. As one of the first American Buddhist nuns and recognized as an incarnation of the Mother of Tibetan Buddhism, she offers a unique perspective on female strength and enlightenment. Sharing from her personal experiences and decades of knowledge as a teacher of the mandala of the five dakinis, she reveals how these Buddhist female spirits embody unique qualities and emotional blocks that hinder true brilliance. Each dakini represents a specific challenge: Buddha dakini addresses ignorance; Vajra dakini confronts anger; Ratna dakini deals with pride; Padma dakini faces craving; and Karma dakini tackles envy. After renouncing her vows to become a mother, Lama Tsultrim faced profound grief following the loss of her first child to SIDS. Through Buddhist female role models and meditations, she transformed her pain into faith using the mandala of the dakinis. This ancient mediational tool serves as a map for integration and wholeness, guiding you to embrace and transform your patterns into wisdom through meditation, sound, visualization, and other practices. Both practical and inspiring, the work invites you to explore an accessible path to enlightenment.
