The root text of Holy Women of Great Perfection is the White Space Liberating Extremes of the Mind. This discussion focuses on the section of the Pure Dzogchen Dakini Lineage, with teachings from the unsurpassed Dakini, the great mother of Prajnaparamita, the Perfection of Wisdom, Satrig Ersang. In this lineage, the emanations of the human dakinis from ancient Tibet, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Iran, China, each present a unique physical mudra in order to reveal ultimate meaning.
The meaning of the mudras in this book, which the drawings display, point to the essence of the teaching and can evoke fruition. This is a blessed lineage, a post visionary lineage. As you practice, you will be able to comprehend essential nature more and more, like the sun rising and gradually illuminating the world. Realization is dependent upon conviction, faith, and the degree to which you aspire.
