“Woman is dakini adore her everywhere. Do not question woman. In her real nature she is Bhagavati! Perfection of Wisdom; and in this empirical world Bhagavati has assumed the form of woman” the tantras This song is from a sadhana of Princess Mandarava one of the great dakini consoprts of Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava. From the pure essential nature, from the non conceptual ground, From sunyata’s luminous vastness, profound nature of appearance, Come oh Dharmakaya maidens, shower upon us sublime blessings! From the lustrous dimension, the stronghold of sheer clarity, Come Sambhogakaya maidens, shower upon us sublime blessings. From the dynamic pure appearance, magical nature of compassion Come Nirmanakaya maidens rain down upon us ceaseless blessing. Shower upon us formless blessings, rain upon us bliss’ blessing, Drench us in compassion’s blessings, soak us through with wisdom bliss! Turn back the fearsome obstacles, reverse the inauspicious signs, Make swift and sure the pure attainments, make strong the unborn realization. Princess Mandara, bliss dakini, sovereign of the Vajra realm, Your power and beauty overwhelm us, your elegance enchants our minds. In the celestial Dharmdhatu you dwell as luminous open space. In the bliss realm Dense Array you dwell as kayas and the yidams. Uncountable your emanations, ceaseless are your incarnations, One hundred thousands bliss dakinis dancing in revealing poses. Singing songs of liberation, pervading space with lucent joy. One …

by Cesar Turrubiates through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org This very beautiful work invites us to understand that very sexy of female Buddhist figures, Vajrayogini the “Diamond Yogi”. Her fearsome aspect is modeled the Hindu goddess Kali but she is most certainly a Buddhist creation, naked to indicate she is free of mental obscuration, fully clothed in “sunayat” or nothing at all.

Mantra is gnosemic or trans-rational language that communicates wisdom and freedom directly through the union of ones meditation and the blessing power of the Buddhas. With mantra the medium is the message in encapsulated form – living knowing communicated through subtle vibration. This is one of several mantras of the dakini Yeshe Tsogyel.

tk wrote this small poem about his experience of enlightened mind incarnating again and again, in the realm of beings, as the action of Love. A dakini night poem: A wounded heart in the month of miracles: (recollecting a conversation with Guru Pema on how we appear again and again) He said: “You will remember, like a quick wisp, a small flutter… there then gone. You will remember the prowling of streets and the way your fingers brushed across the twilight. You will remember the buzzing of little bees and the extent of silence, you will remember conflict and loss, thickets of berries, the hands of a small child, the spokes of a wheel, the fragrance of night air, the tangle of your consorts hair, conversations of sunlight. You will remember all this and your heart will break into a thousand shard like wounds and each of these will become a form, a body, a water moon, a magical appearance, a rainbow, a mirage, a dream, a moments hope.” I replied: “There is no rainbow, no mirage, no water moon. There is no one to see it and nothing to be seen. This virtuous moment has never been and will never end. No Buddha descended, no beings were lost, no dream like victor saved them from diseases they never had. No suffering, no end of suffering and so on right up until…. this moment.” He said: “Yes, and still your heart will break, and still the bitter sweet pain will fill you, and still the myriad worlds will turn and spin, and still you will appear again and again until every …

This prayer was written by the Mahasiddha Do Khyetnse Yeshe Dorje as a prayer to all Dakinis but most especially his sister, the emanation of Mandarava, Losel Drolma. Words are below. KYE MA: Jétsunma kindness without interruption, in the beginning, lead us from samsara’s mire. In the middle, instruct us in tantra’s paths In the end, reveal the unborn Dharmakaya. KYE MA: Jétsunma kindness without interruption, There is no other hope than you! Tears flowing from my eyes I recall your precious kindness from my heart’s depths I pray to you with pure devotion. KYE MA: Jétsunma kindness without interruption, Precious One, through powerful, forceful, negative karma, we are still bound by the shackles of dualistic fixation. Look upon me with your compassion. KYE MA: Jétsunma kindness without interruption, I have not traversed the path, Trapped in entanglements alluring, snared in delusions disgusting muck, I pray lead us with compassionate blessings. KYE MA: Jétsunma kindness without interruption, Through the body mandala of great exaltation bestow blessings upon the yogi’s form. Through the power of divine voice, your truthful words of vajra speech, grant blessings potent to the pure ones. Through the radiant wisdom of perfect wisdom grant realization to your child’s mind. KYE MA: Jétsunma kindness without interruption, May my Three Doors be ripened and liberated and your enlightened mindstream be transferred into mine.
