by Gyalwa Changchub and Namkhai Nyingpo, translated by The Padmakara Translation Group
The first Tibetan Buddhist to attain enlightenment was probably Yeshe Tsogyal, the female consort of Padmasambhava. Her biography is a colorful and intriguing picture of Tibet at the beginning of the Buddhist era--a time of upheaval, when royal patronage was striving to foster the new teachings in the face of powerful opposition. Profound teachings are offset by episodes of exploit and adventure, spiritual endeavor, court intrigue and personal encounters.
