Graham Shepherd: Wisdom Rising Journey into the Mandala of the Empowered Feminine is a timely awakening to the potential we all have to face the challenges of 21st Century Life. Lama Tsultrim Allione presents Ancient Tibetan practices in a way that we can safely delve into the unconscious patterns that drive our actions to enable us to function more wisely in the world.
The background of the book is the author’s own personal healing journey on her spiritual path, the response of the women’s movement to abuse allegations by prominent men, the current world political situation and global climate change and ensuing disasters.
We are introduced to the Dakini principle fundamental to Tibetan Buddhist practice, whilst rooted in traditional practices this book is by no means religious. It is a call to understanding our deeper selves and the energies which underly our behaviour. By identifying the predominant patterns which prevent us from living from our wisest being we are led on a journey of connecting deeply with these energies. This journey takes many forms - psychological enquiry, embodiment, meditation and practices in nature with the elements. The journey is creative, joyful and...

isabella.ranieri: This book is an amazing witness of the strength and power of the feminine. We need something like this at these difficult times... that we can tap into our qualities of compassion and resilience and bring some light to the world. That we can help as mothers to bring up our girls empowering them.
I have always loved Buddhist female deities... they can be fierce or sweet and loving, they can manifest what is called for at a specific time. So thank you Lama Tsultrim for accompanying us into this wonderful journey!!!

Amazon Customer: As environmental and societal crises reach a boiling point, change is in the air. In Wisdom Rising, Lama Tsultrim Allione provides a mandalic template that serves to move us towards individual and collective wholeness where we can more effectively address the troubles of our times. Allione calls for a “partnership society” where the historic tendency of individuals, cultures, institutions and religions to idealize the masculine, gives way to the unfolding of the divine feminine. She explains that while divine feminine energy is often portrayed as peaceful (think Madonna or Green Tara), it can also manifest in the fierce and powerful forms of the dakinis.

While their initial appearance may be frightful, dakinis actually act with a fierceness that lacks anger or aggression, thus becoming very useful in spaces where transformation is required. Through the use of meditation, visualization and lovely illustrations, Allione presents a mandala process based in dakini wisdom that we can use immediately to nourish the entirety of our inner feminine, no matter where we identify on the gender spectrum.

Skillfully blending Buddhist wisdom teachings and modern psychology,...

M.Heiss: Tsultrim Allione has a unique capacity I find, to convey the complex traditional wisdom of tibetan buddism in a way that is close to our lives and encourages transformation for both, men and women. In this new book I find the qualities of the enlightened feminine get so tangible and accessible also through the authors own story and she invites us to explore the wisdom of the Mandala in an accurately described process. As the demon feeding process also this inner work seems in my own experience to be a deeply healing one and a chance for profound transformation.

Gail D Tiefenbach: Lama Tsultrim's new book is nothing short of visionary. This timely presentation of Tantric Buddhism - understanding and practice in a modern world is a balm for what we are longing for . . . peace, healing of ourselves, a balance of genders and a honouring of Mother Earth. Bravo Lama Tsultrim for sharing your life long work with us.

Cary Twomey: Lama Tsultrim Allione's book is a unique treasure. It is for everyone-both men and women, as it speaks on the primary subjects ushering in the new spirit of our times-the urgent need for a new level of Feminine consciousness, and the value of each individual stepping up and facing their personal psychological, spiritual, and emotional work for the greater benefit of all. Emphasizing the Mandala as an archetypal symbol of Wholeness, we are invited to the work that we all must face today in order to create a much needed shift in consciousness, and to balance the masculine and feminine in the world at large. This book addresses the neglected, denied, and repressed aspects of the Feminine side of our existance such as the need for healthy embodiment, relational engagement, recognition of the value of women and the earth, as well as respecting and caring for the natural environment, and working toward a more balanced relationship between the masculine and feminine energies within. It points to our humanity on our journey of spiritual awakening. Lama Allione unfolds the wisdom of two significant and authoritative traditions; the revolutionary psychological and spiritual discoveries of...
