Maching Labdron (1055–1149) was an extraordinary 11th-century Tibetan yogini and teacher, renowned as the founder of the unique Chöd lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. Her teachings emphasize the radical practice of severing attachment to the body and ego, transforming fears and self-cherishing into profound wisdom and boundless compassion. Through ritual offerings of one's own body to spirits and hungry ghosts, she taught a direct path to realizing emptiness and cultivating altruism, challenging conventional spiritual approaches.
