Quote from Wisdom Rising
Wisdom Rising: Journey into the Mandala of the Empowered Feminine
by Lama Tsultrim Allione
Enliven Books, New York, New York, 2018 356 pagesHer teacher, a monk, approached her, saying, “What a pity it is that you are in the body of a woman, because of course there is no possibility you can attain enlightenment in a woman’s body, so you will have to come back as a man before you can become enlightened.”
The princess answered back brilliantly, demonstrating her understanding of absolute truth, saying, “Here there is no man, there is no woman, no self, no person, and no consciousness. Labeling ‘male’ or ‘female’ is hollow. Oh, how worldly fools delude themselves.” (p. 10)
