Description of Yeshe Tsogyal
Yeshe Tsogyal, sometimes referred to as the Great Bliss Queen in the Nyingma Buddhist tradition, is a semi-mythical female deity or figure of enlightenment. She is well known as the spiritual Yab-Yum consort of the legendary Indian tantric master Padmasambhava (“the Lotus-Born One”). As well as being a manifestation of the Bodhisattva Tara, Yeshe Tsogyal is also regarded as an emanation of Samantabhadri, Prajnaparamita, and Vajrayogini. She is said to have been born similarly to the Buddha, with her mother giving birth with no discomfort, and is said to be a reincarnation of the Buddha’s mother, Maya Devi. Her emanations include the few female Tertons (one who unearths hidden texts or terma including Sera Khandro in the early 20th century and Jomo Menmo in the thirteenth, as well as Mingyur Paldrön, the daughter and heir of the renowned Terton Terdak Lingpa, who founded the Mindroling Monastery outside of Lhasa in the seventeenth century.
