Machig Labdron is popularly considered to be both a dakini and a
deity, an emanation of Yum Chenmo, or Prajnaparamita, the
embodiment of the wisdom of the buddhas. Historically, this Tibetan
woman, a contemporary of Milarepa, was an adept and outstanding
teacher, a mother, and a founder of a unique transmission lineage
known as the Chod of Mahamudra. This translation of the most famous
biography of Machig Labdron, founder of the unique Mahamudra Chod
tradition, is presented together with a comprehensive overview of
Chod's historical and doctrinal origins in Indian Buddhism and its
subsequent transmission to Tibet.
Chod refers to cutting through the grasping at a self and its
attendant emotional afflictions. Most famous for its teaching on
transforming the aggregates into an offering of food for demons as
a compassionate act of self-sacrifice, Chod aims to free the mind
from all fear and to arouse realization of its true nature,
primordially clear bliss and emptiness.
