Dakini's Whisper
Institute

A graduated path through two ear-whispered lineages, held by one teacher.

what this is ↓
The lineage

These teachings were whispered.

For centuries they passed from one mouth to one ear. Kept close so they would be safe, and kept so close that they nearly vanished altogether.

The ninth Khalkha Jetsün Dampa gave his life to carrying them out of that silence. What he held, he held in two streams.

from Je Tsongkhapa Ganden from Machik Labdrön Dakini held together in one teacher to you

The Ganden ear-whispered lineage comes down from Je Tsongkhapa. The Dakini ear-whispered lineage comes down from the great yogini Machik Labdrön. Both are held here, and both are given.

You are not asked to choose between them.

The shape

One path, walked in order.

Not a library of courses to pick through. A graduated path, where each step rests on the one beneath it and opens only when you are ready for it.

Beginner
Essentials

Kindness, sincerity, honesty and compassion, and the practices that grow them. Everyone begins here.

Intermediate
The two streams

Where the lineages are received together rather than chosen between.

Advanced
The uncommon

What was kept closest, given to those who have walked the whole way to it.

How it is taught

With a teacher, not a screen.

Everything here is a supplement to Khandro-la's own transmission, never a replacement for it. No level opens by itself and nothing is awarded by a machine. She looks at your practice and she opens the next door.

Twice a month you sit with her: once with the others at your stage, once with everyone. Each Sunday the sangha gathers on its own.

Annotated practice manuals

The practice on the left, leaf by leaf. On the right, what each verse is doing and the commentary on it. Read straight through, or open a single verse and follow it down.

No sign-in. More practice materials will open here.

The lineage is not a history of the past, but a living stream that flows through our own hearts in this very moment.
