Marcia Dechen Wangmo - "Dakini Activity: The Dynamic Play of Awakening" by Rangjung Yeshe Institute published on 2020-02-21T05:04:23Z During this talk Marcia will read from her new book Dakini Activity. The source of activity is the dakini and there are five kinds of activities: peaceful, increasing, magnetizing, subjugating, and the supreme activity. The primary way to perfect these is through dakini practices, and among dakinis, there are the wisdom dakinis, in space, and worldly dakinis. These practices can be condensed into those of the three roots; the source of blessings is the lama, the source of accomplishment is the yidam, and the source of activities is the dakinis. The one who carries out the activities for the lama and the yidam is the dakini; in other words, the virtue of blessings and accomplishment is the activity, which is the dakini.
