Machik Labdron (1055–1149)

Profound, poetic, and moving description of the View and practice of Chod from the dakini who transmitted it.

Sarah Harding's translation of the five-chapter gCod text (by the 10th century C.E. female adept Machig Labdron) known in Tibetan as Namshe Chenmo: really a combination of autobiography and Buddhist practice text. Although excerpts of Namshe Chenmo have been published here and there, this represents the first time it's been translated into English in its entirety. A landmark text.
