Dakini Power: Twelve Extraordinary Women Shaping the Transmission of Tibetan Buddhism in the West

In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, a dakini is a female being who serves and protects the teachings. The life stories of the twelve teachers presented in this book--nine Westerners and three Tibetans--illustrate the Buddhist idea of feminine wisdom, showing how this ancient philosophy remains profoundly relevant today. Aimed at the mainstream reader with an interest in practical examples of a living wisdom tradition, Dakini Power offers surprising insights into what this age-old tradition can offer modern seekers.
