SKY DANCER: The Secret Life and Songs of the Lady Yeshe Tsogyel by Keith Dowman, fore. by Trinley Norbu Rinpoche, illustrations by Eva van Dam.

Yeshe Tsogyel, consort of Guru Padmasambhava, is the most famous of the enlightened women of Tibet. Women have a special place in tantra but except for Sky Dancer there are few writings that present the spiritual practices and evolution of female aspirants. Here, women are in an eminent position, and a path of practice is given for present day initiates to emulate. Keith Dowman has added a commentary on the path of inner tantra, woman and the dakini, the Nyingma lineages.
