One of my favorite quotes from Dakini's Warm Breath
Try this for a thoughtful gift for your Buddhist loved one.
Yeshe Tsogyal Event at the Denver Shambala Center
Saturday 9am- 3:30pm with Acharya Judith Simmer- Brown
When Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche requested that our Shambhala Center in Denver install a representation of the Mother Principle, he commissioned the creation of a banner depicting Yeshe Tsogyal, who is considered the mother of Tibetan Buddhism. This event will formally install the banner in the Denver Shambhala Center with a celebration of the feminine in its outer, inner, and secret aspects in men and women. As a part of the simple ceremony, Acharya Judith Simmer-Brown will introduce the banner, its history and meaning, and its relevance for the Shambhala community.
Hope to see you there!
Another Delightful Quote from Dakini's Warm Breath
solitary retreat. After he had spent five months in a dark retreat in the Gyame Chikla Cave, a beautiful dakini appeared in a vision, foretelling his destiny as the transmitter of important cycles of Dzogchen teachings." - Dakini's Warm Breath : The Feminine Principle in Tibetan Buddhism / Judith Simmer-Brown
The Vajrayoginia Dakini Dance
The Heart Sutra
Buddhist Wisdom: The Diamond Sutra and The Heart Sutra
Amazon Price: $7.25 (as of 06/04/2012)
The Diamond Sutra is said to cut "like a thunderbolt" (p. xxix), and the Heart Sutra is the "heart or essence of the Perfection of Wisdom" (p. xxi). They look deeply into "experience beyond the rigidity of concept," recognizing "the interdependence of all beings" (p. xix)and, at times, they will cause your head to reel as your mind does somersaults! Although Conze comments on these sutras phrase by phrase, he acknowledges his commentary is not intended to convey "the spiritual experience which a Sutra describes. These only reveal themselves to persistent meditation. A commentary must be content to explain words used" (p. 7). The realization of these teachings results in compassion (p. xix).
In her excellent Preface to this new edition of Conze's translation, Judith Simmer-Brown notes that "the wisdom of the Prajnaparamita sutras is mind expanding" (p. xv). I am not competent to comment on Conze's translation, and I do not presume to understand these sutras. However, I recommend this book for anyone interested in exploring the Buddhist concepts of emptiness and the absolute nature of reality, or for anyone interested in the pursuit of wisdom--"with the concern for the meaning of life, with its search for ends, purposes and values worthy of being pursued, with its desire to penetrate beyond the appearance of things to their true reality" (p. xxviiii).

Another Divine Feminine Resource Worth Looking At
Kuan Yin: Accessing the Power of the Divine Feminine
Amazon Price: $4.52 (as of 06/04/2012)
There are very few books on Kwan Yin out there, and this is an interesting new addition. Quite beautifully illustrated (it would make a lovely gift) it is really filled with practical meditations and tips on how to incorporate Kwan Yin into your own spiritual life - which makes it quite different from other books in English on the Bodhisattva. On the whole, probably well worth buying.

Divine Feminine Goddess Sculpture
Asian Goddess sculpture home yard oriental dance statue
Amazon Price: (as of 06/04/2012)
Introduce the tranquility of Asian art to your home or garden with this goddess of mystery. Over two feet tall as she strikes one of the characteristic Bodhisattva poses, her serene countenance conveys inner peace. Cast in quality designer resin, our goddess boasts a richly burnished finish that replicates beautifully aged sandstone.
Place this graceful dakini in your own personal garden.

- Great lens, on a subject close to my heart. Can't wait to read Daikini's Warm Breath. Are you familiar with Anne Klein's book, Meeting the Great Bliss Queen? It's a favorite of mine. FYI, Sandy Boucher has a book out on Kuan Yin. Thanks for creating this lens. *technocrone*
