Yeshe Tsogyel, consort of Guru Padmasambhava, is the most famous of the enlightened women of Tibet. Women have a special place in tantra, but except for Sky Dancer there are few writings that present the spiritual practices and evolution of female aspirants. Here women are in an eminent position, and a path of practice is given for present-day initiates to emulate. Keith Dowman has added a commentary on the path of inner tantra, woman and the dakini, and the Nyingma lineages.

Yeshe Tsogyal Explores Joy for Us --- Joyfully!

February 8, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is very different from Yeshe Tsogyal's memoir "Lady of the Lotus Born," which focuses much more on her exoteric life experiences. Both are wonderful books; however, "Sky Dancer" requires a much higher level of practice on the part of the reader to get the most out of it. On the other hand, because it is so beautifully written, one can simply enjoy it without pushing oneself to understand every word. The book can and should be read many times. If the reader is a Buddhist practitioner, more will be understood as the reader's own level of practice continues to advance.

Possibly the best book ever, a great mystical adventure story with deep meaning. Many esoteric Highest Yoga Tantra teachings can be discerned between the lines if you are an advanced practitioner with intuitive understandings...

Poetic and inspiring. The four-parts commentary at the end of the book written by the translator himself, was also superb.

Every woman should know about Yeshe Tsogyal. Here Keith Dowman has translated from Yeshe Tsogyal's own words, her story. Keith has also added rich commentary and further historical information. A must read for all interested in historical women and Buddhism.

This is an unusual book. It does give some flavor of Tibetan literature and poetry. If you have an interest in learning about some of the legends associated with Tibetan Buddhism, do include this on your reading list.

a discrete work on Lady Yeshe Tsogyel. This is only a personal idea (and thus subject to correction..) but...less romance and more clear information could have been get this book more interesting. It is good, but considering it has also been written for a) western people with no detailed information about Her and b) people who wonder which practical application could have her path...if these info should have been reported, the optimus would have come as well (from me almost).
