Tsultrim Allione: “Feeding Your Demons:
Transformation of Inner and Outer Enemies into Allies”

Download a brochure about the event (pdf)

March 16,  7:30 pm
At Nalanda West
suggested donation $20

Within the ancient teachings of Tibetan Buddhism lies a meditation for facing--and dissolving--our greatest fears and attachments. Based on the traditional Tibetan practice of Chöd (literally 'to sever'), a method was developed by a legendary female yogini, Machig Labdrön, almost 1,000 years ago. Tsultrim Allione will present Machig's revolutionary approach and a practical method to move from struggle to non-duality.

Drawing from Machig's teachings, she shares an experiential 5-step process that can help you meet and release what the Tibetan's call 'demons'---the longings, fears, obsessions, illnesses and attachments we battle with everyday. We all have our demons the greatest of which is self-clinging. She shows how our inner and outer demons can be seen and nurtured, transforming them into allies.

Biographical Information:

Tsultrim Allione, M.A., author of the classic Women of Wisdom and upcoming Feeding Your Demons (Little, Brown '08) was ordained as one of the first western Buddhist nuns in the Tibetan tradition in 1970 by H.H, the 16th Karmapa.

She spent several years as a monastic in the Himalayas and then returned to the West, gave back her vows, became a mother of three and continued to practice and eventually teach in the West from the unique view of a western woman trained in traditional Buddhism. She received her MA from Antioch University in Buddhist Studies/Women's Studies and teaches internationally.
She is founder and resident teacher at Tara Mandala, a 700-acre retreat center in Colorado, where an 11,000 square Temple and library Buddhist temple dedicated to the 21 Taras, and two 6,000 sq' residential buildings are under construction.

She has taught for more than thirty years and combines western psychological insight with traditional Buddhist teachings in a creative and practical way. Sounds True has published her audio programs Cutting Through Fear and Mandala of the Enlightened Feminine .
