Lady of the Lotus Born, The Life and Enlightenment of Yeshe Tsogyal

The first Tibetan ever to attain complete enlightenment was in all probability the woman Yeshe Tsogyal, closest disciple of Padmasambhava.This book is not only a biography but an inspiring example of how Buddhas teachings may be practiced. Although a text of great antiquity, it nevertheless expresses a tradition that is still alive today and is an archetypal description of the student-teacher relationship. Yeshe Tsogyal follows the complete Buddhist path, including the Dzogchen teachings, and herself becomes a Guru of great power and wisdom. It is a dramatic story, full of beauty and song, and offers an intimate glimpse of Tsogyal's feelings, aspirations, hardships, and triumphs.292 pages.
