Wisdom Rising
Through her own story of loss and spiritual seeking, paired with mandala meditations and rituals, bestselling author of Feeding Your Demons Lama Tsultrium Allione teaches you how to embody the enlightened, fierce power of the sacred feminine—the tantric dakinis. Ordained as one of the first Western Buddhist nuns and recognized as a reincarnation of a renowned eleventh century Tibetan yogini, Lama Tsultrim nonetheless yearned to become a mother, ultimately renouncing her vows so she could marry and have children. When she subsequently lost a child to SIDS, she found courage again in female Buddhist role models, and discovered a way to transform her pain into a path forward. Through Lama Tsu...

Luminous Moonlight
Do Dasal Wangmo (1928- ), great-granddaughter of Do Khyentse Yeshe Dorje (1800-1866), is the last living direct descendant in his family lineage. Do Khyentse was an extraordinary yogi known for his divine, magical, and unconventional activities. Out of the deep compassion of her vast realization, Do Dasal Wangmo has benefited many as doctor of Tibetan medicine, lineage holder and as a Buddhist nun. She is a well-respected scholar, realized practitioner, and as her story dramatically demonstrates, a highly committed monastic. Her life story demonstrates how, despite the challenging life she has lived during brutal times in Tibet, she has been able to give to others as a doctor, bodhisattva and secret yogini. Her story gives us a glimpse into the modern day life of a female lineage holder, augmented by the introduction from Lama Tsultrim Allione who had the great blessing of meeting her in 2010 and receiving transmission from her.

Passionate Enlightenment
The now-classic exploration of the role of women and the feminine in Buddhist Tantra The crowning cultural achievement of medieval India, Tantric Buddhism is known in the West primarily for the sexual practices of its adherents, who strive to transform erotic passion into spiritual bliss. Historians of religion have long held that this attempted enlightenment was for men only, and that women in the movement were at best marginal and subordinated and at worst degraded and exploited. In Passionate Enlightenment, Miranda Shaw argues to the contrary and presents extensive evidence of the outspoken and independent female founders of the Tantric movement and their creative role in shaping its distinctive vision of gender relations and sacred sexuality. Including a new preface by the author, this Princeton Classics edition makes an essential work available for new audiences.

Dakini's Warm Breath
A fresh interpretation of the dakini—a Tibetan Buddhist symbol of the feminine—that will appeal to practitioners interested in goddess worship, female spirituality, and Tantric Buddhism The primary emblem of the feminine in Tibetan Buddhism is the dakini, or “sky-dancer,” a semi-wrathful spirit-woman who manifests in visions, dreams, and meditation experiences. Western scholars and interpreters of the dakini, influenced by Jungian psychology and feminist goddess theology, have shaped a contemporary critique of Tibetan Buddhism in which the dakini is seen as a psychological “shadow,” a feminine savior, or an objectified product of patriarchal fantasy. According to Judith Simmer-Br...
