Lama Tsultrim Allione is an author, an internationally known Buddhist teacher, and the founder of Tara Mandala. Lama Tsultrim was the first American woman to be ordained as a Tibetan nun by His Holiness the sixteenth Karmapa before returning her vows to marry and raise three children. Recognized as the reincarnation of renowned eleventh-century Tibetan yogini, Machig Labdrön, she is the author of three books Women of Wisdom, Feeding Your Demons, and Wisdom Rising. Lama Tsultrim focuses on the teachings of Dzogchen and the lineage of Machig Labdrön, the founder of the Chöd lineage. Her teachings arise from the blessings of her many wonderful Tibetan teachers, her experience as a Western woman and mother, and over forty years of practice and dedication to the Buddhist teachings.
