Buy a Coffee and Share the Merit

All the work on the DT website is free to read and download and I want to keep it that way. As I am a major fan of coffee, which keeps me going strong all hours when creating content, one way to support the work is to buy me a coffee or two with a one-time (or monthly) coffee/s at the Ko-Fi Donations platform (who do not take any fee) click on the button: or link here.

“I’ve heard a lot of people tell women you are a Dakini, or my mother is a Dakini, or my wife is a Dakini and so forth. Perhaps they think a Dakini is always very beautiful and gentle and kind and mother-like and nourishing and strong woman and so forth. I don’t think they really have met one, it’s not always a compliment! [laughs].” –Khandro Rinpoche (2017)
