    Mischievous Dakinis

    in Meeting the Dakini!

    I wanted to share a comical, true confession. I am happily spending significant time working on transcriptions of Khandro-la's teachings. One morning this week I was reciting the Six Session Guru Yoga and realized that instead of saying, “And vow to protect all the vows I have taken nor transgress even one for the sake of my life”, I said, “And vow to protect all the vows I have taken nor transcribe even one for the sake of my life.” 😊 Another time during the Five Dakini Retreat recitations I caught myself saying “bikini” instead of dakini. That really caused me to chuckle. Ryan said it best when I shared with him and he said, "sounds like the dakinis are up to their usual mischief." I must say both of these funny, brief instances "woke me up" to a glimmer of the mahamudra of perfection and seriousness. I wonder if others have funny and somewhat embarrassing meditation moments? Please share! Ellen

    I also like that Dakini rhymes with Bikini. It has that joyful effervescent free association

    I also like when the Dakinis laugh at me when I am so serious and self-judgmental. I am getting the joke that mistakes happen, they are not personal, and are good wake- up calls to compassionate awareness. The real joke is that it has taken so long to bring joy and awareness into each moment. It's a work in progress, this new "path."

    Maybe I'm too serious because I've never had any of these comical experiences! .. I enjoyed the laugh, Timothy.

    I have found that if I smile when i am reciting mantras it really helps to focus and enjoy it even more - creates a lightness
