Description: This book presents the unabridged translation of the Buddhist visionary Sera Khandro Dewé Dorjé's extraordinary autobiography--one of only a handful of life stories written by women in Tibetan literature.
Review Quotes: Truly an extraordinary work, the autobiography of the famed Tibetan Buddhist female master Sera Khandro is at once worldly and sublime, candidly detailing her many life difficulties with other people, along with the spirit guides who supported her, and the many profound realizations she experienced. Translated with finesse by Jacoby and meticulously reviewed with several leading Tibetan experts, this book affords the reader a rare encounter with an exceptional woman teacher and the life of traditional tantric Buddhism on the Tibetan plateau in the early twentieth century.--Janet Gyatso, Hershey Professor of Buddhist Studies, Harvard Divinity School
