Description
The dakini's Warm Breath: A fresh interpretation of the feminine principle in Tibetan Buddhism. In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the dakini is a powerful symbol of the feminine, representing levels of personal realization in meditation. Judith Simmer-Brown, an experienced practitioner, offers a unique study of the dakini, exploring its significance in ritual practice, visionary experiences, and the meeting point of body and mind. This book provides a non-conceptual understanding of the dakini's role in spiritual experience, where direct gaze, radiant body, and compassionate revelation of reality activate living experience. Grounded in the author's personal encounter with the dakini, it will appeal to those interested in goddess worship, women's spirituality, and the tantric tradition.
