Notes
For a complete study of Niguma, see the book Niguma, Lady of illusion by Sarah Harding.Niguma is the second Jewel among the Seven Shangpa Jewels (notice that The first Jewel of the Shangpa is Vajradhara, the first and eternal Buddha from whom Niguma received teachings directly).
Established in a realization which goes beyond the usual temporal benchmarks, she remains accessible to those endowed with a pure mind and appeared to masters who lived in the 11th and 12th c. and then to others throughout history. Amng them is Bodong Cholé Namgyel, Thangtong Gyelpo and Künga Drölchok.
"Blessed by Vajradhara himself, named Niguma or rnal 'byor ma rus pa'i rgyan cha can (Yogini Adorned with Bone Ornaments), she remained at the charnel ground of so sa gling and left for a pure domain without leaving her body. Mochokpa used to say she was Naropa's sister but opinions differ and most masters consider that she was his consort. She is also named grub pa'i rgyal mo, the Queen of the Accomplished" (chos 'byung bstan pa'i pad+ma rgyas pa'i nyin byed p.207).
Lineage: Lavapa > Niguma: "Thus, in this life (as Niguma), based on the teachings of the instructions by the adept Lavāpa and some others..." (Lady of Illusion, p.1).
