Intention of this article is illustration of that which is in Buddhist terminology called ‘female aspect’, a feature that manifests in every sentient being regardless of gender or religious views. The article is based on the teaching of one of the well-known masters of Tibetan Buddhism Machig Labdron (1055–1145), the founder of a unique transmission lineage known as The Chod of Mahāmudrā. According to her teaching, female principle manifests on three levels. The article is structured with three respective subtitles that elaborate on the three levels of the main concern in more detail. The article does not only try to present the female aspect in itself, but also in its relation to the whole.
