Biography
by Tsultrim Allione
An intimate collection of teachings and life stories from Tibetan Buddhist women practitioners, many previously unheard in Western contexts. Allione documents the wisdom of female lamas, yoginis, and nuns, challenging the male-dominated narrative of Buddhist transmission. These voices illuminate feminine approaches to enlightenment, including practices with dakinis and wrathful deities. The book reclaims women's essential role in preserving Vajrayana Buddhism.
