Join us as we contemplate this dramatic and challenging scene of Padmasambhava, dwelling in the cremation grounds, surrounded by the dakinis.

“On all sides there are dead bodies and blazing funeral pyres. In one hand he rattles a small drum, the symbol of fearlessness, and with the other he drinks wine from a skull cup, symbol of the great bliss. All around him are the dakinis, some dancing, some singing, some flying through the air, some encircled by rainbows, some embracing him…The atmosphere of the place is awe-inspiring and sublime, and the mood of the naked yogi is fearless and heroic.”
