Mother of Knowledge Padmasambhava himself said: ‘Male or female - there is no difference. but if she develops the mind bent on enlightenment, to be a woman is better.’ Female energy is especially respected in Padmasambhava’s lineage, having a special place in the enlightened transmission. Yeshe Tsogyal is one of the greatest in the tradition of those who preserved Tibetan Buddhist texts.
