Description
A mother herself and inspired by the Great Mother, Perfection of Wisdom, Machig Labdron lived in Tibet in the 11th and 12th centuries. Intelligent, courageous, and illuminated, she was the only Tibetan � male or female � to initiate a distinct tradition that spread back into India , the motherland of Buddhism. Machig �developed a system, the Mahamudra Chod, that takes the Buddha�s teachings as a basis and applies them to the immediate experiences of negative mind states and malignant forces. Her unique feminine approach is to invoke and nurture the very �demons� that we fear and hate, transforming those reactive emotions into love.� (Sarah Harding, Machik�s Complete Explanation: Clarifying the Meaning of Chod)
