Lama Agnes Pollner: Strong women in tantric Buddhism
The fascinating world of yoginis, dakinis and wise women of Tantrism
Where are the women in Buddhism who practiced with body and soul and achieved liberation and enlightenment? The Dharma teacher Agnes Pollner has compiled inspiring stories about women from tantric Buddhism and thus reveals the work and wisdom of spiritual ancestors of tantric Buddhism in India and of tantric practitioners in Tibet.
Following the first volume with the stories of the lives and experiences of women during the lifetime of the Buddha and from the Mahayana traditions in India, China and Japan, this volume includes great mythical heroines such as the yoginis Yeshe Tsogyal, Machig Labdrön and Mandarava. With their spectacular lives and their confrontations with the social conditions of their time, these yoginis placed themselves clearly in the spotlight.
As role models of fearlessness, strength and wisdom, they continue to shine into the present day and also convey an inspiring image of femininity beyond convention for women today.
