Achi Chokyi Drolma
Mother Achi is/was the grandmother of Lord Jigton Sumgon, founder of the Drikung Lineage. She is depicted in 2 forms — peaceful and semi-wrathful. I have a picture of her standing, in peaceful form, such a sweet grandmother’s smile, holding her mirror up to show us true nature of mind … and laughing, her darling feet in the cutest little shoes. She is also shown riding her Blue Wind Horse, ready to fly instantly to our help. She is total generosity. One time, one of her kids wanted to get married but there was no money for the wedding feast. So Mother Achi caused it to rain food and drink from the ceiling of the house. It doesn’t matter to her if you want an hors-d’oeuvre platter, she helps!.
