Dakini day dakini teaching from Lama Tharchin Rinpoche...

"In Amdo (Eastern Tibet), the birthplace of my father, a dakini named Dresi Khandroma, who sometimes would lie absolutely still for a week at a time as if she were a co**se, traveled to Zangdok Palri, the Copper-Colored Mountain, on the 10th and 25th lunar days of every month. She would take whatever questions people had written down, ask them of Guru Rinpoche, and return with the answers. My uncle Lama Sherab Rinpoche met with Dresi Khandroma and asked a question. The dakini had her shawl spread around her and underneath it, she rustled a lot of papers. From among these, she drew one out, and from the letters thereon, she gave extensive prophecy to my uncle. She said many things about his various future activities to benefit beings and what each would need. She also foretold how long my uncle would live - that at the end of his sixtieth year, he would go to the Copper-Colored Mountain. And precisely at the end of his sixtieth year, my uncle did in fact pass. I’m not exaggerating anything. This is exactly how it occurred." – Lama Tharchin Rinpoche
