Sukhasiddi ~ Peerless Awareness ~ Vajrayana Buddhism

Sukhasiddhi (flourished 11th Century) was an Indian teacher of
Vajrayana Buddhism, a yogini and master of meditation. She was
born in west Kashmir to a large, poor family. Sukhasiddhi arrived
at tantric Buddhism late in life. She lived as an impoverished
housewife and mother of six children until the age of fifty-nine.
She was thrown out of her home by her husband and children, who
were irate at what they considered her misplaced generosity to a
stranger who came begging at their door. She traveled to
Oḍḍiyāna, thought to be the land of dakas and dakinis, and there
she met Virupa, a mahasiddha who became her guru. Very quickly
Sukhasiddhi became completely realized and together with Niguma,
as well as Rāhula, Maitripada and Vajrasapana, was the root
teacher of the Tibetan yogi Khungpo Naljor, who founded the
Shangpa Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. She is one of 84 known
Mahasiddas. First section translated from the Tibetan by Sherab
