Trusting our thoughts and feelings, we act decisively and strongly and find out much later that we have gone blindly astray without realising that we were so wrong. This story shows both the havoc created by the selfish entitlement that proclaims, “Me first!” and the many faces of kindness the Buddhas manifested to tidy up the mess.

She started a whole lineage of practice that still exists today. It has been incorporated in one way or another by all schools of Tibetan Buddhism. The paintings on each page were inspired by her biography and illustrate her life and difficulties. Being an inspiration for Buddhist practitioners, it goes beyond the merely biographical. One thousand years ago villagers and nomads in Tibet had many expectations about how a young girl should behave. Girls were trained in all the tasks of maintaining a household and ensuring that nothing was wasted from the animals. This was the basis for a good marriage. But Machig carried within her a deep spiritual vision of a different life. Every experience she had of village life convinced her that her place was in the high hills, living in caves and devoting her life to meditation practice. Her struggle to fulfil her vision is recounted in this illustrated brief biography which includes some of her most beautiful and challenging songs. This life story of Machig Labdron is directly translated from an original Tibetan text by James Low. Paintings by Diana Collins. Each page has paintings by Diana Collins commissioned by James Low to accompany the text. They illustrate Machig Labdron’s life and difficulties in a way that hopefully brings them to life and is an inspiration for Buddhist practitioners.
