DAKINI JOURNEY IN THE RIVER OF BLESSING
The Heart of Chö, Volume Three
Kindle/paperback available on Amazon and DW Media Store
“Energies aren’t separate from us; they arise through our mind and imagination. Visualization should be precise, as every detail affects the subtle body. Invocation is powerful, especially when you connect with the energy, not just the form. Remember, deities, like Dakinis, are felt as well as seen—they have heart.”
In Dakini Journey: In the River of Blessing, Chöying Khandro offers a profound and illuminating commentary on the Five-Dakini Retreat Manual, a sacred text from the lineage of Chö, a powerful tradition of Tibetan Buddhist practice. Drawing from the ancient Ear-Whispered Lineage—a direct transmission of teachings passed from master to disciple—she opens the doors to the mystical realm of the Five Dakinis, offering a rare opportunity to engage deeply with the transformative energy of these enlightened beings
DAKINI JOURNEY IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD
The Heart of Chö, Volume Two
available on Amazon
“What would it be like to journey with Dakini, this being whose body is completely grounded, whose mind is crystal clear with wise knowing,
whose heart is immensely vast and open like the sky, yet full of tender, fearless, and overwhelming compassion?”
This compelling journey will take you right into the heart of Dakini, the compassionate embodiment of “inner wakefulness.” Emerging from Chöying Khandro’s teachings, meditations, and dialogue with student practitioners through a period of extensive exploration of Dakini, Dakini Journey brings ancient teachings into the modern world through the lens of the five elements, our six senses, and subtle body. With her encouraging self-inquiry, we find the voice of the Dakini, or “sky-dancer,” the awakened awareness dwelling within.

No matter what our familiarity is with foundational teachings on renunciation, refuge, bodhicitta, emptiness, guru yoga, and the basics of Vajrayana and Chö, Khandro-la's teachings offer heartfelt inspiration and encourage us to reflect deeply on how we might integrate them into our lives on and off the cushion.
It is a study guide that students in the Ear-Whispered lineage can take with them on the path, but it is also an accessible and very readable introduction for those just embarking upon the path. When you are finished, please consider leaving a review!

An article by BuddhistDoor Global, based on the interview with KL, November 27, 2018
