Under the light of Magnolia Blossoms, on the top of a mountain deep within the forest this dance came into existence. With High Priestess Yeshe Rabbit Chanting as her lover plays the drum. The feeling is that of great change, sacrifice and ultimate freedom. Yeshe Rabbit Says: “I am chanting this mantra to ask for the blessings of the Female Buddha of the Void, Prajnaparamita, and Her embodiment on Earth, Dakini Machig Labdron. With reverence and good intent, I chant this mantra for the wisdom, patience, and the purification of negative karmas from anyone who listens to it and watches this offering of sacred dance. ” Madame Hummingbird is High Priestess of Sacred Dance within CAYA (Come As You Are Coven) She Is Both High Priestess In the Wildflower Tradition of Caya & a Feminist Bloodroot Honey High Priestess. This is part 2 in her series of Sacred Blessing Dances for her Legacy project of the Year 2012.

The great Dakini Yeshe Tsogyel was a female Buddha and disciple of Guru Rinpoche who worked tirelessly to lay the foundations for Tantra and Dzogchen in Tibet. Her activities embodied love and compassion in action and her realization of the most subtle wisdom was an example for anyone seeking Buddhahood. tk wrote this song one morning after a dream of receiving teachings in Terdrom Valley, one of the many place Khandroma Yeshe Tsogyel taught. I remember a time when we danced in deep valleys the rushing of water a gathering of friends our songs and our feasting rang out with sweet brilliance as we gave our hearts freely in your sweet embrace oh Tsogyel, great victor, and fiercest of warriors you were the tigress who suckled us sheep you are the dragonʼs loud crashing of thunder, the Lionʼs Five Nectars, the Khyungchenʼs great ease Your words sung like bells and our drums beat with freedom You poured out your teachings like stars in the sky You opened the womb of spaceʼs vast secrets You gave us the richness of fields at first dawn You lifted our hearts beyond mere conception and shattered our lives with the glance of your love We were rag tag free Yogins who lived in the reaches of mountains and dreamscapes awakened through vision like poets and warriors who live fierce this moment you taught us to harness the winds of our minds you danced unimpeded on tip tops of mountains surrounded by Mamos and guardians of passes you transformed our world and displayed your deep …

The compassion, totality and rarity of the Dakini. Historic and geographic variations on the archetype. Discerning and pioneering the modern expression and teaching modalities of the Dakini. The re-establishment of the feminine as primary in Tantra.

Yeshe Tsogyel, Dakini Queen, is the expanse of wisdom appearing as the action of Love. The emptiness spoken of in Buddhism is not a mere nothingness but a luminous expanse of divine fullness whose essence is beyond any concept or quality and whose nature is a luminous radiance – these two in union give birth to the ceaselessly arising magical appearances. To sing the praises of Khandroma Yeshe Tsogyel is to invite your own deepest nature of reality into your being and world.

My favorite track from Yoko’s “A Treasury of Jewels” album: track 12, Five Dakinis. I believe that’s the Heart Sutra being recited in the background.
