Mahasiddha Interviews: Helena Ahlbäck - Full Enlightenment Series Pt. 3

The Lion-Faced Guru Podcast - Pragmatic Explorations of Nondual Tantra, Vajrayana & Dzogchen

In this interview, Helena Ahlbäck from Finland shares the story of her path to full emptiness realization and the attainment of 10th bhumi.

We are told her story of finding bodhicitta, the heart of enlightenment, and how it carried her to realization and away from plateauing in practice.

How she experienced the various stages of the path and bhumis, meaning what are the various challenges she had to face as she went along?

And how is it the practice of post-emptiness, meaning the "leaping over" into luminosity and Light Body?

And much more about the life, view, and conduct of a yogini of our time.
