Add your own review!

Overview

Dhyani Ywahoo is a member of the traditional Etowah Band of the Eastern Tsalagi (Cherokee) Nation. Trained by her grandparents, she is the twenty-seventh generation to carry the ancestral wisdom of the Ywahoo lineage. Charged with the duty to rekindle the fire of clear mind and right relationship in these changing times, she is a guide to all who walk the Beauty Road. In her first book she shares with readers these precious oral teachings of her people. Voices of Our Ancestors teaches practical ways of transforming obstacles to happiness and good relationships, fulfilling one's life purpose, manifesting peace and abundance, and renewing the planet. It includes meditations; healing rituals; instructions for working with crystals; and teachings on how to practice generosity and harmony. According to the ancient Native American calendar, we have recently entered a new cycle of Thirteen Heavens, a new age in which we have the opportunity to let go of aggression and fear and begin to live a life of enlightened consciousness. With a voice that is powerful, prophetic, and compassionate, Dhyani Ywahoo calls on us to become ""Peacekeepers"" in our hearts and in the world.

“Homage to all the past, present, and future wise women and men who share their wisdom and compassion to illuminate a bright path for their followers. Since the early 1980s I had the great opportunity to visit the beautiful Sunray Meditation Society and Peace Village, a native and Tibetan Buddhist center in the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains, which was founded and is guided by Very Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo, Pema Sangdzin Khandro. Her dedication to preserve the Cherokee wisdom and compassion lineage, combined with the lineage of Guru Padmasambhava, benefits many people around the world. I personally benefited by participating in many sacred ceremonies, including sweat lodges with the sacred sound of A Ho. I am very happy to see the republication of this special book. It will help sustain the lineage, as well as serve many generations to come. By the blessings of the Three Jewels, Guru Padmasambhava, and all the wisdom and compassion ancestors, may this book continually inspire all beings to actualize healthy mind and spirit, and achieve their highest realization. Wado.” —Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal, author of Light of Fearless Indestructible Wisdom   “Ven. Dhyani Ywahoo, Pema Sangdzin Khandro wrote a beautiful book full of wisdom many years ago, and I wholeheartedly welcome this second edition of Voices of Our Ancestors. It contains invaluable messages of wisdom and care about how we are all connected to each other and especially the environment that we all inhabit. I encourage everyone to read this precious book carefully and bring its meaning into your heart. Without a doubt, its benefit will ripple out. Ven. Dhyani Ywahoo, Pema Sangdzin Khandro is the nature of love and compassion. I have known her many years. She is an accomplished master in both Native culture and Buddhadharma and is a great writer as well. She supports other skillfully and selflessly when they are in need, and I am grateful for this. I admire her wisdom and compassion with deep respect. My strong aspiration prayers go out to everywhere for peace and happiness.” —Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen, author of A Complete Guide to the Buddhist Path   “It is our duty to endorse these messages from our ancestors: to be humble and respectful to all life; to remember we are carrying on their legacy; most importantly, to hand these teachings to the future generations! May these sacred lessons go on forever!” —G. F. Michael Bastine, author of Iroquois Supernatural: Talking Animals and Medicine People   “Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo embodies wisdom of the Native and Tibetan traditions. Hers is a lifetime spent generously sharing these sacred teachings with students all over the world. I celebrate this new edition of her book, which will hold these precious methods to walk in this world with wisdom and compassion now and for future generations.” —Lama Konchok Sonam, spiritual director of Drikung Meditation Center   “Embark on a transformative journey with Voices of Our Ancestors, a profound exploration of interconnectedness and spiritual wisdom. Through vivid symbolism and meditative practices, it offers a roadmap to attune oneself to the universal flow of energy, fostering harmony within and around us. Dhyani Ywahoo’s teachings, rooted in the rich traditions of the Tsalagi and Tibetan Buddhism, provide invaluable insights into healing, community building, and planetary consciousness. A must-read for anyone seeking to deepen their spiritual practice and contribute to the greater good of humanity. The updated edition includes new insights and practices that resonate deeply in today’s world, making it an essential read for anyone seeking to reconnect with the sacred and live a life of purpose and balance. A true gem for spiritual seekers and those committed to fostering a harmonious world.” —Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder and CEO of Agape International Spiritual Center, host of Take Back Your Mind podcast, and author of Life Visioning   “These wisdom teachings are profoundly life-changing for spiritual growth no matter your tradition.
