Yeshe Tsogyal (757-817) je bila supruga velikog indijskog tantričkog učitelja Padmasambhave, osnivača škole Nyingma tibetanskog budizma. Tradicija Nyingma je u prosvjetljenju smatra ravnom Padmasambhavi. Meditativna praksa vezana uz nju naglašava aspekt prosvjetljenja, te je slična tantričkim običajima. Često se izjednačava sa Vajravārāhī, Tārā i Sarasvatī.

I Nyingma i Karma Kagyu škole tibetanskog budizma priznaju Yeshe Tsogyal kao ženskog Budu.

• Tibetan Buddhist Center Ati Ling Arhivirano 2011-09-04 na Wayback Machine-u Story Lion-Faced Dakini Guru Rinpoche remained in Tibet for 111 years and in his 73rd year there he gave many teachings on the Eight Command Deities and also on the Lion-faced Dakini. The practice was transmitted to Yeshe Tsogyal, who is an emanation of the Lion-faced Dakini, and with her siddha of infallible memory, she recorded the text in dakini script and concealed it, to be revealed later by tertons.
