The Lives and Liberation of Princess Mandarava: The Indian Consort of Padmasambhava

Rating:
Summary: Mandharava the Female Buddha
Review: This book is an excellent insight into the life and times of both Princess Mandharava and the great Guru Padmasambhava, as told by Padmasambhava himself and recorded by his Tibetan consort Yeshe Tsogyal. This book is a terma (a teaching which was written down and then hidden for this present time). Also, it has a blessing prophecy attatched to it, making it very beneficial to read or even be near a copy of this text. The terma itself is very easy to read and follows Mandharava's extrordinary life, in a most interesting progression. It's a very inspiring story!

Summary: Treasure
Review: This is a terma (treasure) text which, among other things, promises to put anyone who comes into contact with it on the path to liberation. There are two particularly beneficial chapters which contain oral teachings given by Guru Padmasambhava to Mandarava. Highly recommended to anyone with the good fortune to be aware of its existence.
