Many of us dream of exchanging our day-to-day responsibilities for
a heartfelt life full of purpose, but few of us ever get around to
doing something about it. The women featured in Dakini Power are
contemporary teachers of Tibetan Buddhism, both Westerners and
Asians, who teach in the West and are the exception. These twelve
women followed their intuition against all odds, made dramatic and
unusual decisions, and sometimes had to fight for their survival in
order to lead the lives they envisioned. All were criticized for
being too conservative or too rebellious, too feminist or not
feminist enough, yet they pulled through with immense determination
and bravery. Today all are recognized as accomplished practitioners
and brilliant teachers. What can we learn from these women? How do
they handle the cultural differences? How do they deal with the
more controversial aspects of Buddhism? The Westerners among them
risked alienating their families and closest friends by immersing
their lives in a completely foreign culture. Often, this
necessitated radical life changes. What did they find on their
journey? Was the price they paid worth it to them?
