Machig Labdrön (1031–1129) was an influential eleventh-century Tibetan yogini and spiritual teacher born in central Tibet. She became one of the few Tibetan masters whose teachings were transmitted from Tibet to India, reversing the more common historical movement of Buddhist teachings from India into Tibet. She studied with renowned teachers, including Kyotön Sönam Lama and the Indian yogi Padampa Sangye, and combined the Prajnaparamita teachings with tantric meditation to establish the Chöd tradition. Revered as an emanation of Yeshe Tsogyal and a wisdom dakini, she founded a lineage centered on cutting through ego-clinging, overcoming fear, cultivating compassion, and realizing emptiness directly.
