L’eredità di Yeshe Tsogyal incombe molto nel buddismo tibetano, and her life story has inspired generations of practitioners under challenging circumstances. In youth, her family attempted to force her into marriage, but she escaped to become Tibet’s preeminent yogini. While practicing in solitude, she faced numerous hardships and persevered through austerities. Exemplifying devotion, she served as student, consort, adept, and tantric master, achieving realization on par with Padmasambhava, the eighth-century Indian master who helped establish Buddhism on the Tibetan plateau. Yeshe Tsogyal’s ongoing presence continues through ritual, visionary experience, pilgrimage, treasure revelations, and living emanations.
