Yeshe Tsogyel (or Yeshe Tsogyal) is traditionally said to have been a princess in pre-Buddhist Tibet. She was married to a king at the age of twelve, but ran away to study meditation for three years with a Buddhist master and travelled to Nepal. She later returned to Tibet to help establish Buddhism in Tibet.

 

Poems by Yeshe Tsogyel

  Now until the dualistic identity mind melts and dissolves,
  The Supreme Being is the Dakini Queen of the Lake of Awareness!
  This self-sufficient black lady has shaken things up
