Reseña del editor:
On the Wings of Phoenix Rising gives us an awe-inspiring glimpse into the delight of existence, the joy of the cosmos. Yuan Miao also reveals how, as a very small child, she almost unknowingly and even casually accepted her spiritual life mission directly from Guan Yin. Perhaps most sobering of all is to read first-hand the heart-breaking price she had to pay, over and over, for personal access to some of life's deepest mysteries. Come with an empty vase and read this book for two important reasons. One is that you will never forget the story of this beautiful Chinese woman who had it all, lost it all, and found her true self in ways both surprisingly mystical and breathtakingly true. The second reason is more urgent: it is that just reading about her journey could forever change yours.
Biografía del autor:
Yuan Miao was born in Mainland China into a family with a rich Chinese and Tibetan spiritual heritage. Her Chinese grandfather was a Zen master. Her grandmother, Yeshe Tsuomu, whose name means “Ocean of Wisdom”, was the daughter of a high Tibetan Rinpoche and herself an enlightened master deeply connected to the Divine Mother. She named her granddaughter Yuan Miao –the Source of Infinite Water– after receiving a transmission from the Divine Mother. She was Miao’s teacher, guide and guardian, passing down to her a precious ancient dakini lineage. In her own life, Miao has had a close affinity with the Divine Mother - Guanyin - , since she was three years old, when in a vision, she appeared before Miao as a traditionally dressed woman holding a water-filled vase. She conveyed a clear message that she would become a guide for Miao. Years later, Miao would have the spiritual experience that radically altered her life. She’d become a successful documentary film director at CCTV (the central TV station in China), gaining worldly experience traveling extensively through China and other countries. Following a dream, she went for a visit to her grandmother on the full moon in July 1985. While looking out the window the night she arrived, she saw a large globe of light. She first thought it was a lantern, but the light divided and divided again into smaller spheres. Grandma recognized that it was a truly special event, and that night Miao received empowerments and revelations from the Divine Mother and the high masters. Afterwards, changed, she had frequent mystical experiences and began to spontaneously practice Shakti charged movements that she came to understand were expressions of traditional Tibetan sacred Dumu, which literally means “strong light”. In 1991, Miao’s only child, her daughter, died from leukemia when she was only nine years old. Plunged into the deepest despair, Miao’s faith was shaken and her will to live was lost. She became suicidal, but the mystical events and visions continued, and she emerged from the experience reborn; like a phoenix rising from the ashes, she was able to realize the true reality of life and death, and become completely enlightened, having transformed her deep suffering into a vast wellspring of compassion and joy, a transmission she received from the Divine Mother.
