Dancing Dakinis and Tsok – Saturday night equals party night
Dakinis, the female embodiment of enlightenment, danced for us this evening. They danced so gracefully, and I found my attention focused on their hands. Each hands holding a damaru or bell flowed. Following their dance, we engaged tsok that lasted into the wee hours.
