Niguma, Lady of Illusion Book Study
With Lama Sarah Harding and Lopön Polly Ryan MA MFT
February 6 - 28, 2019
With Lama Sarah Harding and Lopön Polly Ryan MA MFT
Please join Lama Sarah Harding, Polly Ryan and the Tara Mandala Northern Sierra Sangha in the exploration of the life and times of Niguma. Niguma, Lady of Illusion, translated with an introduction by Sarah Harding, provides a rare glimpse into feminine Buddhist history by bringing “to the forefront the life and teachings of a mysterious eleventh-century Kashmiri woman who became the source of a major Tibetan Buddhist practice lineage. The circumstances of her life and extraordinary qualities ascribed to her are analyzed in the greater context of spiritual biography and Buddhist doctrine. More than a historical presentation, Niguma’s story raises the question of women as real spiritual leaders versus male images of feminine principle and other related contemporary issues.” (Shambhala Press)
