The Queen of Great Bliss



[NOTE: Traditionally, empowerment, reading transmission, and explanatory teaching from a qualified teacher are necessary in order for such a sadhana to be fully understood and practised.]
This is the Dakini practice from the famous Longchen Nyingthig Cycle, written down by Jigme Lingpa. Although as a sadhana it is a Tantric practice, it is imbued throughout with the Dzogchen perspective. I referred to several earlier English versions, including that produced by the Dzogchen Shri Singha University, when re-translating this text. This is a brief version, omitting many prayers that customarily accompany the practice when it is performed in groups.
