Lion-faced Dakini is said to be a great source of protection when obstacles arise in one’s spiritual practice, including curses and other calamities. Ultimately, she represents the wisdom nature of mind. “I found the practice of Senge Dongma to be a reliable source of protection when obstacles arise. Defilements attract the maras of hindrances and enemies just as a magnet attracts iron filings. When you clear away the negativity of your own poisons, there is nothing to attract the maras” – Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche
