What is Machig Labdrön's Lineage

Machig Labdrön's lineage refers to the unbroken transmission of teachings, empowerments, and spiritual practices that originated with the 11th-century Tibetan yogini Machig Labdrön (1055-1153) and continue to this day. This lineage encompasses her revolutionary Chöd practice, the paradigm of "feeding not fighting," and profound Dzogchen teachings transmitted through both family and disciple lines. At Tara Mandala, this lineage embodies the sacred feminine wisdom tradition that offers transformative approaches to working with obstacles and cultivating compassion. The lineage combines Machig's original Mahamudra Chöd teachings with the Dzinpa Rangdröl terma cycle revealed by Do Khyentse Yeshe Dorje.
