Please tell me how this thinking is not dichotomous

[@soniagomes8505]

When there are two ideas, especially two opposed ideas you can say its dichotomus but here in this particular presentation we were talking about the feminine aspect (Dakini) same as the Masculine aspect (Daka)... While the word dakini refers to enlightened compassionate activity embodied as a spirit in female form there is also the Daka, designating a male sky-goer.
Lama Thubten Yeshe clarifies their meaning: “what are dakas and dakinis? Simply speaking they are males and females who possess advanced experiences of tantric transformation and control and are therefore able to increase the blissful wisdom of a highly qualified practioner”.
So... I dont believe this thinking is dichotomous :) Thank you!

она там кого переключает?

[@soniagomes8505]

LOLLLLL!

[@irinaa2985]

мужчина -это дакини ?а она о ком тогда

[@soniagomes8505]

A male is a Daka. I am talking about Dakini, the female aspect ... Daka is the male aspect

[@SofiaRain778]

We need to recognize our souls presence, this is different from sexual attributes.
