“The mandala is a template or blueprint of wholeness. It has a center and four directions. Associated with each direction is a color, an element, an obstructed pattern and a wisdom. It is a way to understand yourself and also your world.”       – Lama Tsultrim Allione

The mandala appears in both Tibetan Buddhism and Western psychology as a powerful symbol for healing, wholeness and transformation. 

We invite you to join Lama Tsultrim Allione for an exploration of the mandala principle and guided journey into the practice of the Mandala of the Five Wisdom Dakinis. This rich practice brings together sound, visualization, and meditation to provide an inner map and skillful means for transforming difficult emotions into wisdom. 

In this immersive self-paced online course, you’ll learn the transformative Dakini Mandala practice and discover for yourself the profound wisdom of the dakinis—female deities in Tibetan Buddhism who embody the fierce, empowered feminine. 

Each of the five Dakinis represents an encumbered emotional pattern—depression, anger, arrogance, craving, and envy—as well as a corresponding wisdom energy, such as equanimity and discernment. As you connect with the dakinis, you’ll identify which dakini best reflects your own emotional patterns and learn how to work with each dakini’s energy to support your own transformation. 

What you’ll discover in this course: 

• Basics of the mandala principle in Buddhism and western psychology
• The development of the feminine in Buddhism, including the role of women in the Buddha’s life 
• The teachings of the five Buddha families and the five wisdom dakinis 
• The Dakini Mandala practice as taught by Lama Tsultrim Allione  
• Guidance for integrating the wisdom of the dakinis into your day-to-day life
• Enhancement practices and meditations to cement your knowledge 

This powerful yet simple practice is suitable for both beginning and seasoned practitioners. For those interested in mindfulness, the mandala offers a path to a deeper and more embodied spiritual practice. For those long-immersed in Buddhism, it provides rich, new insights into the teaching of the five Buddha families.

The course includes:

• Over 13 hours of teachings from Lama Tsultrim 
• 8 guided audio meditations
• Practice worksheets
• On-demand access to all course materials 

This course is open to anyone. It fulfills the Mandala Method Level I requirement within the long term pathway Magyu: The Mother Lineage, and forms Level I of the Mandala Method Certification Program. This new program guides individuals through deep work and practice with the mandala, and certifies them to be able to use mandala work one-on-one with clients.
