Machig Labdron (1031-1129) was an eleventh-century Tibetan yogini and spiritual master. She is celebrated as a key figure in the development of the Chöd practice, a unique tantric Buddhist system designed to cut through ego-clinging and fear by offering one's own body to demons as a profound act of self-sacrifice and compassion. Her teachings emphasized directly confronting obstacles and transforming negative emotions into wisdom, ultimately leading to liberation from suffering.
