Providing a rare glimpse of feminine Buddhist history, "Niguma,
Lady of Illusion" brings to the forefront the life and teachings of
a mysterious eleventh-century Kashmiri woman who became the source
of a major Tibetan Buddhist practice lineage. The circumstances of
her life and extraordinary qualities ascribed to her are analyzed
in the greater context of spiritual biography and Buddhist
doctrine. More than a historical presentation, Niguma's story
raises the question of women as real spiritual leaders versus male
images of feminine principle and other related contemporary issues.
This volume includes the thirteen works that have been attributed
to Niguma in the Tibetan Buddhist canon. These collected works form
the basis of an ancient lineage Shangpa, which continues to be
actively studied and practiced today. These works include the
source verses for such esoteric practices as the Six Yogas, the
Great Seal, and the Chakrasamvara and Hevajra tantric practices
that are widespread in Tibetan traditions. Also included is the
only extant biography, which is enhanced by the few other sources
of information on her life and work.
