Sky Dancer

Recommended Posts

Synopsis: "Sky Dancer" is a film about the daily life and teachings of one of Tibetan Buddhism's great female masters. In a world where ethnic and political tensions are driving people apart, we are transported to a community where Chinese and Tibetan students study together and are treated as equals. Khandroma Kunzang Wangmo the matriarch and spiritual leader of a remote area on the Tibetan plateau is one of very few women ever to receive a position of power in Tibetan Buddhism. Even more rare, she is the descendant of two extremely significant and highly respected masters of Tibetan Buddhism. The film is an inside look at the daily life and journey of this extraordinary woman who is a living example of wisdom and compassion in a world that so often seems to be lacking genuine examples of both.

If the topic interests you, this book may as well.

It is full of pith instructions from khandoma of the Bön lineage.

Smashing, thanks!

 

It would be good to see here other suggestions of books/films featuring the lives and teachings of female practitioners.

 

If mind is beyond male and female why bother? Here's one view:
