dakini cypher; khandro cypher; This calligraphy is written in the hidden script and hidden language of the khandros (mKha’ grodakinis or sky-dancing ladies). The script upon which the calligraphy is based is a gTér – a visionary revelation.


Ngak’chang Rinpoche comments:

"The khandro principle is what provides the inspiration for realisation – the innate magical quality of the phenomenal world in all its limitless variety.

For women this can be perceived in male qualities – as method display.

This is called: seeing the world as the dance of the pawo. For men this can be perceived in female qualities – as wisdom display.

This is called: seeing the world as the dance of the khandro. Script of this variety is known as ton-dröl, which means ‘liberation through seeing’.

Through seeing this script our consciousness is ‘seeded’ with the cause of our eventual liberation."

Khandro Déchen continues:

"Ton-drö should be shown to everyone, everywhere; with the wish that the illusions of frustration, fear and fecklessness—which often characterise our experience—may evaporate into wisdom-space."
