Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This biography explores the life of Yeshe Tsogyal, revered as the mother of Buddhism in Tibet and an enlightened figure admired by many. It offers a unique perspective on her life, structured as a 'secret life story' that unfolds in three layers: an outer account detailing her birth and societal constraints, an inner account of her escape from captivity with Guru Rinpoche, and a secret account of her transformative twelve-year retreat at Chimpu, culminating in her miraculous journey to Oddiyana. Throughout her life, the theme of womanhood is prominent, highlighting her struggle for independence against societal expectations. Her initial encounters with Guru Rinpoche lead her to confront her status as a woman, yet she ultimately asserts her self-worth despite societal norms. Guided by a magical woman to Oddiyana, her journey is enriched by the presence of female companions. Yeshe Tsogyal emerges as Guru Rinpoche's primary disciple and custodian of his teachings, facing challenges that resonate with all spiritual practitioners. Her adventures in Oddiyana yield essential teachings on faith, impermanence, and resilience. The narrative concludes with teachings received and prophecies from Guru Rinpoche, as Yeshe Tsogyal recounts her life story to a future disciple, who later reveals this text.
