Description:
A mysterious Kashmiri woman from the 10-11 centuries is known as Niguma, the Dakini of Timeless Awareness, and is said to be the main source of the Tibetan lineage called Shangpa Kagyu. Not only is she herself ethereal, as befits a dakini, but most of the works attributed to her seem to focus on illusion.
Her practices of the Six Dharmas emphasize illusory body and dream yoga, and her only lengthy treatise is called “Stages in the Path of Illusion.” We’ll explore the woman and her teachings, based on the recent publication of Niguma, Lady of Illusion by Snow Lion Publications.
How might we journey on this path as illusion?
