Summary

How 12 Tibetan Buddhist teachers succeed in merging East and West - including Pema Chodron, Joan Halifax, and Thubten Chodron, among others.

Personal reflections and life stories from 12 contemporary female Tibetan Buddhist teachers, both Westerners and Tibetans, who share insights into how they discovered their true calling, overcame barriers, and developed the courage, determination, and wisdom to progress on the spiritual path.

What drives a young London librarian to board a ship to India, meditate in a remote cave by herself for twelve years, and then build a flourishing nunnery in the Himalayas? How does a surfer girl from Malibu become the head of the main international organization for Buddhist women? Why does the daughter of a music executive in Santa Monica dream so vividly of peacocks one night that she chases these images to Nepal, where she finds the love of her life in an unconventional young Tibetan master?

The women featured in Dakini Power - contemporary teachers of Tibetan Buddhism, both Asians and Westerners, who teach in the West - have been universally recognized as accomplished practitioners and brilliant teachers whose life stories demonstrate their immense determination and bravery. Meeting them in this audiobook, listeners will be inspired to let go of old fears, explore new paths, and lead the lives they envision.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Inspirational for Buddhist women and men in the Tibetan tradition

Great if you’re a beginner to Buddhism or have been led to believe that there are only male practitioners who have achieved realisations. Shame it was abridged. Much of the information is available on the internet now so it needs updating. Overall an excellent listen!
