According to legend, ` Padmasambhava ‘s oral teachings to his chief disciple-Yeshe Tsogyal, Princess of: Kharchen——were recorded in coded language called dakini script and concealed f-or centuries. The selections in Dakini Teachings are short, direct instructions relating to the three levels of, Buddhist practice: Hinayana, Mahayana, and Vajrayana. The main emphasis of Padmasambhava’s teaching is that spiritual knowledge must be personalized and not remain as mere theory. The book includes an introductory discourse by Ven. Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and a short biography of Padmasambhava by Jamgon Kongtrul.
