About Our Teacher
Chöying Khandro holds the complete transmissions of both the Mount of Bliss and Machik Dakini Ear-Whispered Lineages from her root lama, His Holiness, the late Ninth Khalkha Jetsün Dampa Rinpoche. Khandro-la is among the few students who have been with him since he began to teach in the West in the early 1990s.
In 2011, Chöying Khandro was presented with teaching robes and received Khalkha Rinpoche's permission to begin Dakini’s Whisper. Since meeting her teacher, Chöying Khandro has devoted her life to transmitting this rare and precious lineage and its teachings to the West.

She is a committed Buddhist artist and practitioner based in Ulaanbaatar, her work has the luminous quality of the Dakini. For more on Soyalmaa and her work, visit: http://www.soyolmaadavaakhuu.com
Rima Fujita is a Japanese artist, known for her distinctive style with vivid colors on black surfaces. They are ethereal and evoke a timeless sense of longing and peace, and yet if examined deeply her images trigger a powerful ripple of infinite emotions. Her paintings express contemporary forms of Dakinis that are very much appreciated by Dakini Whisper.
