Machig Labdrön
Machig Labdrön (Tibetan: མ་གཅིག་ལབ་སྒྲོན་, Wylie: ma gcig lab sgron, sometimes referred to as Ahdrön Chödron, Tibetan: ཨ་སྒྲོན་ཆོས་སྒྲོན་, Wylie: A sgron Chos sgron), or "Singular Mother Torch from Lab" (1055–1149), was a Tibetan Buddhist nun believed to be a reincarnation of Yeshe Tsogyal, and the renowned 11th-century Tibetantantric Buddhist master and yogini that originated several Tibetan lineages of the Vajrayana practice of Chöd (Tibetan: གཅོད་, Wylie: gcod).
Nyingma scholar Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche states that the Chöd tradition developed by Machig Labdrön is "a radical synthesis of the Prajnaparamita tradition and tantra guru yoga that 'cuts' through the ego."[3]
Historical texts portray Machig Labdrön as the originator of the Chöd lineage which she developed in Tibet.
This was confirmed in her own lifetime by Indian Brahmins and others, and Machig Labdron's creation of the Chöd lineage is not doubted by its modern practitioner
