Dakini Stories by Pema Khandro
He turned and saw an old woman with bizarre features. Naropa was a great scholar and triumphant debater at Nalanda. This was the famous Buddhist University in Naropa’s lifetime, the eleventh century, and Naropa was a famed Buddhist intellectual there. One day, Naropa was studying when a shadow fell over him.

Very Special Gift for You
One of a Kind – White Tara Thangka Print
This special thangka image will not be reproduced outside of the Buddhist Yogis Sangha or for any other purposes. The image is meant for members and practitioners of Ngakpa International only, however because of the importance of the Dakini Mountain location, donors now have an opportunity to receive this very special print of White Tara.
Message from the Artist
“This White Tara was made with great devotion and in a traditional manner. The original is stretched cotton sized with yak glue. The paint was made from stone pigments mixed with various binders and acrylic paint was used as well. The painting itself is painted in Karma Gadri style, which has greater compositional depth and detail as it combines all other styles, and is also considered a depiction reference of the ‘pure land’. The two flowers in front are for my stepfather and mother. During its creation mantras and pujas were performed. When the eyes were ‘opened,’ referring to the painting of the eyes last to bring the thangka to life, it was done on the first day of the full moon. When done properly, the thangka will be ‘alive’ and subtle energy emanating from the image will affect the practitioner. If you are to receive one of these images please treat it with respect, devotion and honor. It will benefit your life.” ~ Rin’dzin Prema
