Lama Tsultrim Allione
About this listen
A master teacher offers a fresh and faithful approach for invoking the power of the five dakinis - the fierce and loving goddesses of Tibetan Buddhism.
Female energy is on the rise. Courageous women everywhere are bursting through the seams of the patriarchy. Yet tearing down old barriers is not enough - how can we access the power of the feminine in a way that heals wounds and brings our world into balance? Lama Tsultrim Allione invites you to discover the five dakinis of Tibetan Buddhism, luminous “sky dancers” who carry the feminine’s transformative gifts. With The Empowered Feminine, this best-selling author presents an in-depth learning course for creating profound change - to accelerate your spiritual growth and serve the needs of our planet.
A practical approach for embracing archetypal feminine forces
Lama Tsultrim begins by introducing you to the five dakinis and explores how this tradition has evolved from the time of the Buddha into the modern age. Then she takes you step by step into the mandala of the five dakinis: a versatile framework for meditation, self-examination, connecting with nature, and healing. In 10 audio sessions, you’ll explore:
- The history and practice of feminine energy in Buddhism
- The energies of each dakini - and how to tell which dakini “family” you belong to
- How to transform the “five poisons” of the ego into the “five medicines” of awakening
- The Dakini Mandala - a template for returning to our innate wholeness
- How the feminine can come into wise partnership with the masculine
- The outer, inner, and secret dakini
- In-depth practices for realizing the transformative power of the five dakini virtues
“A dakini is both compassionate and relentless, burning away the ego”, says Lama Tsultrim. “Wherever we cling, she cuts; whatever we hide from ourselves, she reveals.” Discover how you can bring the wisdom, grace, and fierceness of the dakinis into spiritual practice and everyday life with The Empowered Feminine.

This is the radical theme of this extraordinary set of instructions, a training manual composed in the fourteenth century by the Buddhist hermit Ngulchu Thogme, here explained in detail by one of the great Tibetan Buddhist masters of the twentieth century, Dilgo Khyentse. In the Mahayana tradition, those who have the courage to undertake the profound change of attitude required to develop true compassion are called bodhisattvas.

The Words of My Perfect Teacher is the classic commentary on the preliminary practices of the Longchen Nyingtig—one of the best-known cycles of teachings and a spiritual treasure of the Nyingmapa school—the oldest Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Patrul Rinpoche makes the technicalities of his subject accessible through a wealth of stories, quotations, and references to everyday life. His style of mixing broad colloquialisms, stringent irony, and poetry has all the life and atmosphere of an oral teaching.

It is said that the practice of dream yoga deepens our awareness during all our experience: the dreams of the night; the dream-like experience of the day; and the bardo experiences after death. Indeed, the practice of dream yoga is a powerful tool of awakening, used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions. Unlike in the Western psychological approach to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan dream yoga is the recognition of the nature of mind or enlightenment itself.

Tantra Illuminated takes the listener on a fascinating journey to the very heart of original Tantra: its key teachings, foundational lineages, and transformative practices. Since the West's discovery of Tantra 100 years ago, there has been considerable fascination, speculation, and more than a little misinformation about this spiritual movement. Now, for the first time in the English language, Tantra Illuminated presents an accessible introduction to this sacred tradition that began 1,500 years ago in the far north of India.

Based on a series of talks given by Chögyam Trungpa during the first session of what was to become Naropa University, Cynicism and Magic introduces key Tibetan Buddhist concepts, including karma, the structure of ego, the paramitas, and the bodhisattva. Employing a unique and intimate teaching style, Trungpa Rinpoche presents these concepts in a larger framework of questions we all have: What is authentic spirituality? Can I find enlightenment and freedom? How should I approach life, death, suffering, and boredom? How can I develop some discipline, patience, and sanity?

Lama Yeshe tells us that mahamudra is “the universal reality of emptiness, of nonduality” and its unique characteristic is its emphasis on meditation: “With mahamudra meditation there is no doctrine, no theology, no philosophy, no God, no Buddha. Mahamudra is only experience.” As always, Lama Yeshe’s words are direct, funny, and incredibly encouraging. He gets us to go beyond ego’s addiction to a limited sense of self and to taste the lightness and expansiveness of our own true nature.

Tsultrim Allione brings an 11th-century Tibetan woman's practice to the West for the first time with Feeding Your Demons, an accessible and effective approach for dealing with negative emotions, fears, illness, and self-defeating patterns. Allione - one of only a few female Buddhist leaders in this country and comparable in American religious life to Pema Chodron - bridges this ancient Eastern practice with today's Western psyche. She explains that if we fight our demons, they only grow stronger. But if we feed them, nurture them, we can free ourselves from the battle.

One of the greatest works created by any culture and overwhelmingly the most significant of all Tibetan Buddhist texts in the West, The Tibetan Book of the Dead has had a number of distinguished translations, but none encompassed the work in its entirety. Now, in one of the year's most important publishing events, the entire text has not only been made available in English but in a translation of quite remarkable clarity and beauty.

The text called the “Seven-Line Prayer” is said to contain the most sacred and important teachings of the Nyingma school and is recited daily by many Tibetan Buddhists. White Lotus unlocks the secret of the prayer and explains its meaning on many levels. The author, Jamgön Mipham, was a celebrated nineteenth-century scholar who was known for his prolific, lucid, and original writings on many subjects, including science, medicine, and philosophy—in addition to Tibetan Buddhist practice and theory.

Wisdom Rising practices in historical context
"The Empowered Feminine" audiobook (9 hrs, 9 min) by Lama Tsultrim Allione is narrated by the author. It seems to cover most of the practices in her "Wisdom Rising" book, while orienting the material differently. The introductory chapters, as autobiographical here as with most of her work, includes helpful material on the life of Buddha.
