The primary emblem of the feminine in Tibetan Buddhism is the dakini, or "sky-dancer, " a semiwrathful spirit-woman who manifests in visions, dreams, and meditation experiences. Judith Simmer-Brown, an accomplished scholar and an experienced practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, demonstrates how the dakini symbolizes levels of spiritual realization: the sacredness of the body, the profound meeting point of body and mind in meditation, the visionary realm of ritual practice, and the empty, spacious qualities of mind itself.
Judith Simmer-Brown, Ph.D., is professor and chair of the religious studies department at Naropa University (formerly the Naropa Institute), where she has taught since 1978. She has authored numerous articles on Tibetan Buddhism, Buddhist-Christian dialogue, and Buddhism in America. She is an Acharya (senior teacher) in the lineage of Ch÷gyam Trungpa. A practicing Buddhist since 1971, she lives in Boulder, Colorado. |
