A Tibetan Dakini Machig Labdrön statue represents the great Tibetan yogini and founder of the Chöd practice, Machig Labdrön, embodying the union of wisdom, compassion, and fearless transcendence of ego. She is typically depicted in a dynamic, dancing posture that symbolizes liberation from attachment and the cutting through of ignorance. Her expression is both serene and powerful, reflecting enlightened awareness beyond fear. In her hands, she often holds a damaru (hand drum) representing the sound of impermanence and method, and a drilbu (bell) symbolizing wisdom; sometimes she also carries a kapala (skull cup) filled with symbolic nectar, representing transformation of negativity into realization. Adorned with bone ornaments and a flowing sky-like presence, she appears as a wrathful yet compassionate dakini, embodying the Chöd teaching of offering one’s own ego to dissolve duality. The overall iconography expresses profound spiritual courage, cutting through self-grasping and revealing the radiant nature of emptiness and compassion united.

Machig Labdron (1031–1129) was an eleventh-century Tibetan yogini and teacher, renowned for founding the Chöd practice (literally "cutting off"). She is considered an emanation of Yum Chenmo (Prajnaparamita), the Great Mother of Wisdom. Her teachings focus on cutting through ego-clinging, fear, and attachment by offering one's body as a feast to demons, thereby transforming obstacles into opportunities for awakening and profound compassion. She embodies radical fearlessness and wisdom.
