Wrathful Deities in Tibetan Buddhism

admin — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Tibetan Book of the Dead (Bardo Thödol) describes deities appearing in the intermediate state (bardo) between death and rebirth, which are actually projections of the mind, guiding the consciousness through visions of peaceful and wrathful figures (like Mahakala, Vajrayogini, Green Dzambhala, Vajrapani) representing aspects of our own consciousness to achieve liberation. These deities, often depicted in detailed mandalas, are not external gods but manifestations of the mind’s luminous nature, meant to be recognized as such to avoid clinging and attain enlightenment, guiding the deceased (or living) through life’s difficult moments and the final transition.

The presence of demons (wrathful deities) is often crucial to religious systems. These terrifying Buddhist monsters don’t just exist to scare you – they symbolize the mean and evil aspects of human nature. Tibetan Buddhists believe that everyone has a Buddha nature and can attain enlightenment, but also believe that humans are inherently prone to succumb to their basest desires such as greed, ego, lust, and anger. Scary demons from Buddhism often embody impure thoughts and desires that lead to negative behavior, although some are just scary reminders to only do good deeds.

Tibetan Buddhism is a branch of Buddhism that developed from the combination of its indigenous religious beliefs of Bon and Mahayana. Bon consists of shaman practices. It was gradually formed under the further self-development of the primitive Tibetan shamans of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Buddhism, on the other, made its foothold in Tibet in the 6th to 8th centuries. Initially, the Buddhism type adapted by the Tibetans only included Indian figures like devas, yakshas, and asuras. But later, other local Bon Tibetan gods and spirits were incorporated into Buddhist practices and beliefs. In Buddhism, there’s no concept of absolute evil demons as all sentient beings can improve their karma through practice.

Here are the top 6 wrathful-like deities, which can often be seen in Tibetan monasteries.

Mahakala practices entered the Kagyu lineage through Ga Lotsawa (Palchen Galo Namgyal Dorje) from Indian traditions, with Bernagchen specifically from the Nyingma terma tradition adopted by Karma Kagyu.

Significance: Mahakala is a guardian deity, transforming negative emotions like ignorance and attachment, clearing the path to enlightenment, and is a common subject in thangka paintings.

Bernagchen Mahakala, known as “The Black-Cloaked Protector,” is one of the most powerful wrathful Dharma Protectors in Tibetan Buddhism, especially revered in the Karma Kagyu lineage. He embodies fierce compassion, acting swiftly to remove obstacles, destroy negative forces, and protect sincere practitioners and the teachings of the Buddha.

Iconography & Meaning
Black body – ultimate power, emptiness, and destruction of ego
Wrathful expression – compassion in fierce form
Flaming wisdom aura – burning away ignorance
Black cloak (Bernagchen) – absolute authority over harmful forces
Chopper & skull cup – cutting delusion and transforming negativity

Despite his terrifying appearance, Bernagchen Mahakala is not violent—his wrath is pure enlightened activity aimed at protection and liberation.
Mantra of Bernagchen Mahakala
Tibetan
Om Mahakalaya Svaha

Vajrapani is the powerful Bodhisattva who embodies the strength and fearless energy of all Buddhas. He protects the Dharma, removes obstacles, and transforms anger into enlightened power, symbolized by the vajra (thunderbolt).

Green Dzambhala is a compassionate wealth deity in Vajrayana Buddhism, associated with swift activity and enlightened generosity. An emanation of Avalokiteshvara, he removes poverty, obstacles, and fear while helping practitioners gain prosperity aligned with wisdom and compassion. Green Dzambhala especially supports quick success, travel, and active endeavors, reminding devotees that true wealth is used for the benefit of all beings.

Ucchusma Vajra is a powerful wrathful protector in Vajrayana Buddhism, embodying the purifying fire of enlightened wisdom. His fierce energy burns away defilements, obstacles, and negative forces—especially those linked to impurity—transforming them into clarity and compassion. Invoked for protection and purification, Ucchusma Vajra represents fearless activity in service of awakening.

Palden Lhamo is the fierce female Dharma Protector of Tibetan Buddhism. Her wrathful form is compassionate wisdom in action, destroying obstacles and safeguarding the Buddha’s teachings.

Vajrayogini is a semi-wrathful deity
Om: Sacred, universal sound, symbol of ultimate truth.
Vajrayogini: The fierce goddess of knowledge.
Hung: The seed syllable that invokes His power and presence; dispels negativity.
Phat: Shields against negative forces, removes obstacles.
Swaha: Dedication and seals the mantra.

Peaceful Deities in the Tibetan Book of the Dead

Peaceful Deities: Represent pure, enlightened qualities, like Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, often appearing as manifestations of wisdom.
The Great Liberation (Zab chos zhi khro dgongs pa rang grol): The larger text from which the Bardo Thödol comes, focusing on these peaceful and wrathful manifestations.
Bardo States: The text details several “bardos,” or intermediate states, including the bardo of dying, the bardo of ultimate reality, and the bardo of becoming (rebirth).

Purpose:

Guide for the Deceased: To help consciousness navigate the confusion of the after-death state, recognize the true nature of mind, and achieve liberation from the cycle of rebirth (samsara).
Guide for the Living: To prepare for death, overcome fear, and recognize the “deities” (inner experiences) of life and death as projections of the mind, fostering deeper self-awareness.

Origins:

A Terma (hidden treasure) text revealed by Karma Lingpa (1326–1386)

In essence, the deities in the Tibetan Book of the Dead are profound psychological and spiritual symbols, not anthropomorphic gods, serving as a map for the consciousness to find its way home to enlightenment.

Regularly working with the psoas (muscle of the soul) through the 5 Tibetan Rites can help transition from a state of chronic stress (tight) to a state of ease and “soulful” connection (released).

Ten Benefits of Vajrayogini practice

admin — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Embodiment of Cognitive functions
Vajrayogini is also known as Vajravarahi in Vajrayana or Tantric Buddhism. And who is Vajrayogini? To put the answer simply, the female embodiment of the cognitive functions that lead to Buddhahood is in fact Vajrayogini herself. Vajrayogini practice has always emphasized experience over speculation.

Vajrayogini in this Dissipated Times
Of all the Vajrayana meditative deities, Vajrayogini is credited with being the one practice for our busy, hectic, terrifying times, among all the other Vajrayana meditative deities. It can ultimately lead us, in one lifetime, to Enlightenment. Her visualization, appearance, mantra and sadhana are all intrinsically designed to combat our modern obstacles. More precisely, the obstacles of our dissipated times. In our modern age, life is very hectic, we have no time.

Life is always in the way of practice, and we struggle with many fears, including but not limited to, terrorism, global warming, wars, capitalism, paying the bills, healing our sickness, etc. Her practice will not only free us from the prisons of our minds but will actually help us look into and understand the inherent flaws of our socio-political superstructure and to actively resist its ideological submission. By not adhering to the norms or confirming this ideology, we will have separated ourselves from its illusions and will finally get rid of our delusions.

The source Tantra, in the condensed Root Tantra of Heruka, explains there are ten key spiritual benefits to practice, many not available from other practices:

Easy to practice: although a Highest Yoga Tantric practice, the visualizations of the mandala is relatively easy, the sadhanas are relatively short, and the mantra is relatively easy.
Ideal for this degenerate age: Unlike other practices, Vajrayogini brings fast benefits, since Heruka and her mandalas are closer to us than other deities.
Vajrayogini’s mantra is supreme for attainments. Although somewhat long, it is easy to memorize. It is said that Vajrayogini’s mantra alone is all a practitioner would ever need, provided they have faith.
Powerful blessings: not just blessings, but quick blessings.
Can accomplish all attainments: many of the great mahasiddhas accomplished enlightenment and other realizations from her practice.
Can practice both generation and completion stage together: if you don’t know what this means, teacher guidance is best.
Overcome attachments: sensous nature and red color signify she is suitable for overcoming desires and cutting attachments, hence her flaying knife.
Vajrayogini practice contains the essence of all practices even though it is short in nature.
Uncommon Yoga of Inconceivability. Pure Land Rebirth: It offers the benefit of being born in a pure land (like Khechara) without needing to leave one’s body, which is a powerful incentive for dedicated practitioners.
Special body mandala practice. Inner Wisdom and Bliss: Vajrayogini symbolizes the union of profound emptiness and great bliss, promoting mental clarity and deep spiritual experience.

Practicing Vajrayogini
Vajrayogini practice and Vajrayogini mantra is one of the Highest Yoga Tantra that requires both permission and empowerment. It is not exclusive, and anyone can honor, pray to and meditate on her as an external deity. However, without initiation, one is not permitted to visualize the self as Vajrayogini and probably not chant the mantra. Still. one can come closer to Vajrayogini enlightened qualities through praise, offerings and prayers, but it goes without empowerments.

Unlike other meditations, the nature of Vajrayogini practice is very energetic. And even though it is designed to deal with the high pace of degenerate times, it does require some guidance from a qualified teacher with proven lineage is the best path to Vajrayogini.

Vajrayogini and Kundalini connection

admin — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The guru is the means. – Shiva Sutra 2.6

Vajrayogini is a central tantric deity in Vajrayana Buddhism, often considered the embodiment of the divine feminine and the essence of enlightened wisdom. While Vajrayogini is a Buddhist meditational deity (yidam) and Kundalini is a term more commonly associated with Hindu Tantra, both concepts overlap in their focus on transforming subtle energy to achieve enlightenment, with Vajrayogini practice specifically utilizing the potent, kundalini-like energies within the body.

Key Aspects of Vajrayogini and Kundalini Connection

Awakening Energy: Vajrayogini practices are deeply connected to the awakening of spiritual energy, often referred to as Kundalini Shakti in tantric contexts.

The Subtle Body (Vajra Nadi): Vajrayogini practices activate and direct this energy through the central channel of the body, known as the sushumna in Kundalini yoga or the vajra nadi in Tantric Buddhism.

Transforming Passion/Desire: Vajrayogini represents the transformation of ordinary desire, passion, and attachment into wisdom and bliss, rather than repressing them.

“Sky-Dancer” (Dakini): Known as a dakini, she is the “Sky Dancer” who represents the swift, fearless, and non-dualistic nature of reality, helping practitioners move past ego and dualistic, mundane existence.

Practice and Symbolism

Highest Yoga Tantra: Vajrayogini is a key deity in Highest Yoga Tantra (Anuttarayoga Tantra), often practiced by those seeking rapid, profound spiritual transformation.

Red Form and Bliss: She is commonly depicted in a vibrant red color, which symbolizes the transformation of desire into enlightened awareness, and she is often surrounded by fire, symbolizing the fire of wisdom consuming ignorance.

Benefits of Practice: The practice of Vajrayogini is said to be highly beneficial for our “degenerate times,” offering a quick path to enlightenment, purification of negative karma, and the attainment of great bliss (mahasukha).

Empowerment Required: Because of the potent and profound nature of the practices, they require proper empowerment (initiation) and guidance from a qualified guru to be engaged safely.

Vajrayogini is often considered an “enlightened Dakini” or a “Female Buddha” rather than just a deity, representing the ultimate, non-dual wisdom of the Buddhas.

Who is Vajrayogini, why she is important?

admin — Fri, 01 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Among the many revered figures in Tibetan Buddhism, Vajrayogini stands as one of the most profound, mysterious, and powerful manifestations of enlightened wisdom. Her image, often strikingly fierce yet imbued with an unmistakable sense of grace, embodies both the compassionate heart and the wrathful energy necessary to cut through delusion. Known in Sanskrit as Vajrayoginī and in Tibetan as Dorje Naljorma, she is regarded as the supreme deity of the Buddhist tantric pantheon, particularly within the Highest Yoga Tantra. To the uninitiated, she may appear as an intense figure, dancing in flames, adorned with bone ornaments, and holding a curved knife and skull cup. Yet, for the devoted practitioner, she is the very essence of the path — the swift liberator who embodies the union of wisdom (prajna) and method (upaya). Vajrayogini is not merely a symbolic figure; she is a living archetype of enlightenment itself, an expression of the deepest truths of the Vajrayana path, and a guiding presence for countless meditators seeking liberation.

Vajrayogini’s origins trace back to the rich tapestry of Indian tantric Buddhism between the 10th and 12th centuries. She is connected to the Cakrasaṃvara Tantra, one of the central texts of Highest Yoga Tantra, where she often appears as the consort of the deity Heruka. Over time, various lineages developed practices focusing exclusively on Vajrayogini, recognizing her as a complete path to enlightenment in her own right, without dependence on another deity. This recognition is one of the reasons she holds such a prominent position in Tibetan Buddhism. While her imagery and iconography might seem daunting at first, every aspect of her form is laden with symbolic meaning — each ornament, each gesture, each attribute is an instruction in itself. For example, her red body represents the transformation of desire into enlightened awareness, her nakedness signifies freedom from all conceptual fabrications, and her dancing posture symbolizes the dynamic play of emptiness and appearance. The flames surrounding her are not those of destruction, but of wisdom fire, consuming ignorance and illuminating the true nature of reality.

In Vajrayana Buddhism, the importance of a deity is not measured solely by their mythological narrative but by the role they play in the practitioner’s journey. Vajrayogini is considered a yidam, or meditational deity a being one visualizes oneself as during advanced tantric meditation. This process is not mere imagination; it is a profound psychological and spiritual transformation. By identifying oneself completely with Vajrayogini, the practitioner learns to dismantle the habitual sense of a limited, ego-bound self and instead experiences reality from the perspective of enlightened awareness. The practice involves generation stage meditation, where one constructs the pure vision of Vajrayogini’s mandala, and completion stage meditation, where one works directly with subtle body energies to realize the inseparability of bliss and emptiness. In this way, Vajrayogini is not only an object of devotion but also the very method through which one attains Buddhahood.

One of the most distinctive qualities of Vajrayogini is her accessibility to practitioners. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is said that Vajrayogini’s blessings are exceptionally swift. This is not because she is partial or biased, but because her practice is particularly suited for the current degenerate age (Kali Yuga), where obstacles to Dharma practice are abundant, and distractions are overwhelming. Vajrayogini is considered the “essence of all Buddhas’ wisdom” in female form, and her tantric methods are designed to cut through the thick layers of ignorance that define samsaric existence. In many teachings, masters describe Vajrayogini as a direct, no-nonsense guide: she does not indulge the practitioner’s excuses, fears, or procrastination. Instead, she offers an uncompromising path, fierce compassion, and the promise of rapid enlightenment even within a single lifetime.

For Buddhists, especially those in the Vajrayana tradition, Vajrayogini embodies several critical aspects of the path. First, she represents the inseparability of bliss and emptiness a core tantric insight. Unlike other Buddhist approaches that emphasize renunciation and detachment from desire, Vajrayogini’s practice involves transforming desire into the very fuel for awakening. Her red color reflects this transformation: red is the color of passion, vitality, and energy, but here it has been transmuted into the radiant energy of wisdom. This transformation is not about indulging desires but about recognizing their empty nature and redirecting their raw energy toward enlightenment. Second, Vajrayogini represents the female principle in its highest spiritual expression. While Buddhism ultimately transcends gender, the use of female imagery in Vajrayogini practice highlights qualities like receptivity, nurturing, and profound intuitive wisdom. At the same time, her fierce form reminds practitioners that wisdom must be paired with the courage to confront and cut through delusion.

Her iconography is a teaching in itself. In her right hand, Vajrayogini holds a curved flaying knife (kartika), symbolizing the severance of ego and the cutting away of self-cherishing attitudes. In her left hand, she holds a skull cup (kapala) filled with nectar, symbolizing the blissful realization of emptiness. Often, she is depicted holding a khaṭvāṅga, a tantric staff resting against her shoulder, representing her inseparable union with her consort signifying the integration of method and wisdom. She stands or dances upon the bodies of two figures, often representing the subdued forces of ignorance and self-grasping. The garland of fifty severed heads around her neck is not morbid for its own sake but symbolizes the purification of the fifty syllables of the Sanskrit alphabet, representing all possible conceptual thoughts each transformed into enlightened awareness.

The historical transmission of Vajrayogini practice into Tibet came through several great Indian masters, most notably Naropa, whose Vajrayogini lineage became a core practice of the Kagyu school. Marpa Lotsawa, the great translator and student of Naropa, brought these teachings into Tibet, where they were further disseminated by his disciple Milarepa and subsequent lineage holders. The Gelug school also maintains a strong Vajrayogini tradition, especially through the lineage of Je Tsongkhapa and his successors. Across these schools, Vajrayogini’s sadhana the structured meditation practice is considered an extremely profound method, typically given only after the practitioner has received an appropriate empowerment (abhisheka) and has demonstrated a foundation in Buddhist philosophy and meditation. This restriction is not meant to exclude, but to protect the practitioner from misunderstanding or misusing the practices, which involve working directly with the mind’s most subtle and powerful energies.

Another reason Vajrayogini holds such importance for Buddhists is her role as a meditational support for overcoming fear of death and the intermediate state (bardo). In Vajrayana, the moment of death is considered a profound opportunity for liberation, as the mind experiences the clear light the fundamental, luminous nature of reality. However, without training, most beings fail to recognize this and instead are swept into the uncontrolled cycle of rebirth. Vajrayogini practice trains the practitioner to recognize and merge with the clear light at the time of death. In fact, it is often said that devoted practitioners of Vajrayogini can take rebirth directly into her pure land, Keajra (Tibetan: Dakpa Khachö), from where they can continue their practice free from worldly distractions until full enlightenment is attained. This makes Vajrayogini not only a guide in life but also a protector and liberator in death.

The symbolism of Vajrayogini’s pure land is also worth exploring. Keajra is described as a blissful realm beyond samsara, where the environment, beings, and activities are all expressions of enlightened mind. It is not a static heaven but a dynamic field of practice, perfectly suited for deepening one’s realization. For those who sincerely commit to her path, the aspiration to be reborn in Keajra is not escapism, but a skilful means a way to ensure the most conducive conditions for completing the journey to Buddhahood. Many great masters have encouraged practitioners to hold this aspiration as a safeguard, knowing that even if enlightenment is not achieved in this life, the momentum of Vajrayogini practice can carry one forward without loss.

Vajrayogini’s importance for Buddhists today also lies in the way she bridges the gap between the ancient and the modern. In an era marked by rapid change, digital distraction, and psychological stress, her practice offers a direct way to transform mental energy, rather than suppress or deny it. Western practitioners often find her methods particularly resonant, as they engage not only the intellect but also the body, imagination, and emotion. The visualization practices cultivate a vivid, sacred imagination, transforming the ordinary sense of self into a divine identity. The mantra recitations focus the mind and infuse it with the vibrational energy of enlightened speech. The subtle-body yogas awaken inner bliss, which when united with the view of emptiness, leads to profound states of non-dual awareness. All of these elements together create a path that is as psychologically transformative as it is spiritually liberating.

It is also significant that Vajrayogini’s imagery unapologetically embraces aspects of life that are often shunned or feared death, sexuality, fierce emotions and transforms them into the path. This is the essence of the tantric approach: nothing is rejected, everything is brought onto the path and transformed into wisdom. The skull cup, the cemetery imagery, the flames these remind practitioners that impermanence is unavoidable, that clinging is futile, and that liberation comes through fearless engagement with reality as it is. In a sense, Vajrayogini challenges the practitioner to grow beyond their comfort zone, to abandon the safety of half-hearted practice, and to leap into the fire of transformation.

For women in Buddhism, Vajrayogini has been an especially empowering figure. While historically monastic institutions have often been male-dominated, Vajrayogini stands as an embodiment of female spiritual authority. Her form asserts that women have equal capacity for enlightenment and that the feminine principle is essential to the completeness of Buddhahood. This has inspired generations of female practitioners, from Indian yoginis to Tibetan nuns and modern Western students, to embrace the path with confidence and vigor. At the same time, her practice is equally accessible to men, reminding them to integrate the qualities of intuitive wisdom and compassionate receptivity into their own realization.

Ultimately, Vajrayogini is important for Buddhists not because she is an object of blind worship, but because she is a living, dynamic method for awakening. Her practice encapsulates the essence of the Vajrayana path: the transformation of all experience bliss, desire, fear, death into the luminous awareness of enlightenment. For those who commit to her path with devotion, discipline, and correct understanding, she offers the promise of swift liberation, the removal of obstacles, and the guidance of a compassionate yet uncompromising teacher. Whether one approaches her as a symbol, a meditational deity, or an actual enlightened being, Vajrayogini remains one of the most profound and complete expressions of the Buddhist path.

In conclusion, to ask “Who is Vajrayogini?” is to open the door to a vast and transformative world of meaning. She is the embodiment of wisdom and method, the fierce mother who cuts through illusion, the red dakini who dances in the flames of emptiness and bliss. She is a guide, a protector, a mirror of our own enlightened nature. For Buddhists particularly those walking the Vajrayana path Vajrayogini represents the distilled essence of all the Buddha’s teachings, a direct and powerful means to realize the mind’s true nature. In an age of uncertainty and distraction, her practice remains as vital and relevant as ever, offering a path that is both ancient in its lineage and timeless in its promise: the swift, joyful, and complete liberation of all beings.

Tiger’s Nest, Paro Bhutan Monastery

admin — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The name comes because Guru Rinpoche is said to have flown to the cliff edge site where the monastery is now located on the back of a flying tiger. He then spent time meditating here as well as defeating local demons who were determined to stop the spread of Buddhism.

Taktsang Zangdo Pari is the place where Padmasmbahava’s wife, known as the “Fairy of Wisdom”, Yeshe Tshogyal (Ye-shes mtsho-rgyal), the founder of the Mon, a convent, by the same name as Taktsang and also two other convents. The present caretaker of the place is said to be an old nun supported by a young trainee.

Another important place near the shrine is the Urgyan Tsemo, the “Peak of Urgyan” which has a small Mani Lakhang. The prayer wheel, turned by an old monk, resounds with chimes that are heard every day at 4 am. Above the Urgyan is the holy cave temple known as ‘Phaphug Lakhang’ (dPal-phug IHa-khang), which is the main shrine of the Taktsang. It is also the residence of the Head Lama, Karma Thupden Chokyi Nyenci.

The “Copper-Coloured Mountain Paradise of Padmasambahva” (Zangdopari) is vividly displayed in a heart shape on every thangkha and also painted on the walls of the monastery as a constant reminder of the legend. The paintings are set on a pedestal that represents the realm of the King of Nagas amidst Dakinis (mKha-hgro-ma), and the pinnacle in the painting denotes the domain of Brahma. The paintings also depict Klu (Naga) demigods with a human head and the body of a serpent, which are said to reside in lakes (said to denote that they are guarding the hidden treasures). Allegorically, they mean to represent the spiritual holy writings. The paintings also show what is termed as “Walkers in the Sky” (mKha-hgro-ma).

The holy hill is drawn in the backdrop with four faces painted with different colors – the east face is in crystal white color, the south face is yellow, the west is in red color and the north has green color. The palace has four sides and eight corners with its lower and upper tiers adorned with jewels. The courtyard with four enclosures is said to represent four kinds of conduct. The walls are built with bricks, balconies have been bejewelled with religious symbols. The ambience is shown in the form of wishing trees, fountains of the water of life, rain bows in five colors with cloud formations and light emanating from lotus flowers. The palace is also shown with a throne with eight corners fully and curiously bejewelled. Padmasmbahva is shown sitting on a pure stalk of lotus emitting divine energy appearing “divine, charitable, powerful, or fierce”.

Further detailing depicted on the four faces and eight corners, are five kinds of Buddhas suppressing the vicious demons (performing four pious deeds) and placed on thrones that are mounted over the stooping demons. The demons and Khadoms are depicted adorned and seated on four petalled and four faced thrones “adorned with necromantic attributes” enjoying a good time; the Khadoms are seen on the four-sided courtyard of the palace and also on all side walls.

The scene is further embellished around the Guru Rinpoche (Padmashambahava) image and also in the palace, with gods and goddesses in the heavens, with gate keepers at the four gates with an army of messengers and servants; all trying to crush the demons to dust. The supporting staff shown are said to represent the Himalayan tribes of pre-Buddhist periods.

Tara, mother of Tibetan Buddhism

admin — Sun, 01 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The Vajra is used extensively in rituals, often alongside a bell. Together, they represent the male and female principles — compassion and wisdom — that must come together to achieve enlightenment. During rituals, the Vajra is held in the right hand while the bell is held in the left, symbolizing the harmony of these two forces.

Ricardo B Serrano with Vajra and Bell in Guru Yoga Om Shapta Ah Hum mudra practice
In meditative practices, the Vajra can also be visualized as a powerful weapon of the mind, shattering delusions and bringing forth clear, unshakable insight. Its symmetrical design serves as a reminder of balance and union, reflecting the Tantric belief in the integration of opposites on the path to enlightenment.

Vajra and Bell in Guru Yoga

Tara (Sanskrit: Tara; Tib. Drolma), the female Buddha, is considered the other most revered Bodhisattva in Tibetan Buddhism, next only to Chenrezig.

In Tibetan Buddhism it is believed that Tara practice was given by Buddha Sakyamuni together with the Vajrayana teachings about the Nature of the Mind and Buddhist tantra. It became very popular in India and later with the Guru Rinpoche was brought to Tibet.

There are a few accounts about the origin of Tara:

According to the most popular story Tara was a young princess who was living millions of years in the past.

Her name was Yeshe Dawa, which means “Moon of Primordial Awareness”.

After doing this practice for a long time, the monks were suggesting Tara that because of her high attainment, to progress further towards enlightenment, she should pray to be reborn as a male:

To what Tara answered, that from the point of view of Enlightenment there is no separation between male or female, it belongs to the conditioned world only. Therefore she vowed to be always reborn as a female bodhisattva until samsara ends.

After this Tara went into deep state of meditation for 10 million years and released tens of millions of beings with the power of her meditation.

Seeing this, Tonyo Drupa told her she will henceforth manifest supreme Buddhahood as the Goddess Tara in many world systems in the future.

Another story depicts Tara as being born from the tears of Chenrezig:

Once, when the great Bodhisattva Chenrezig out of deep compassion was looking to the sentient beings a tears flow from his eyes and formed lakes with lotus flowers.

When the lotus flowers opened, it revealed Tara inside.

This way from the teardrop from Chenrezig’s left eye White Tara was emanated and Green Tara from his right eye.

When Guru Rinpoche brought Buddhism to Tibet, he was also giving many teachings regarding Tara practice to his consort, the Daikini of wisdom Yeshe Tsogyal and the first Tibetan King who was Buddhist – Trisong Detsen.

People believed an incarnation of White Tara was born in China, who became a princess and mother of Tibet, the wife of King Trisong Detsen, and the Green Tara incarnation was born as a princess of Nepal.

In the next centuries the Tara practice became very popular in Tibetan Buddhism.

The Green Tara is known as Buddha of enlightened activity, who provides protection from fears, she is prayed for a good luck and fortune, and it is said Green Tara protects from 8 obscurations.

White Tara is known for compassion, long life, healing and serenity:

White Tara counteracts illness and helps to have a long life. She embodies compassion and motivation and is said to be as white and radiant as the moon. She provides relief from bad karma as experienced by ordinary beings in cyclic existence.

Tara meditation is often recommended for small kids who haven’t started yet the general practice. Tara is associated with all qualities of the mother and mother’s love.

The most widely popular Tara forms are the White Tara and Green Tara as discussed above. But there can be many more:

One of the main Tara practices in Tibetan Buddhism is Praises to 21 Tara or Homage to 21 Tara, which is practiced in all 4 traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, usually in mornings.

As the name suggests there are considered 21 form of Tara, each with a slightly different set of enlightened qualities.
The mantra of Tara is: Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha

Avalokiteshvara’s Om Mani Padme Hum

admin — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Taking refuge doesn’t protect us from problems in the world. It doesn’t shield us from war, famine, illness, accidents, and other difficulties. Rather, it provides tools to transform obstacles into opportunities. We learn how to relate to difficulties in a new way, and this protects us from confusion and despair. Traffic jams do not disappear, but we might not respond by leaning on our horns or swearing. Illnesses may afflict us, but we might still greet the day with a joyful appreciation for being alive. Eventually we rely on the best parts of our being in order to protect ourselves from those neurotic tendencies that create dissatisfaction. This allows for living in the world with greater ease and without needing to withdraw into untrustworthy circumstances in order to feel protected. – Mingyur Rinpoche

Amitabha Buddha

OM MANI PADME HUM
By His Holiness the Dalai Lama

We have within us the seed of purity, the essence of a One Gone Thus (Tathagatagarbha), that is to be transformed and fully developed into Buddhahood. – Dalai Lama

It is very good to recite the mantra Om mani padme hum, but while you are doing it, you should be thinking on its meaning, for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast. The first, Om is composed of three letters, A, U, and M. These symbolize the practitioner’s impure body, speech, and mind; they also symbolize the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha……….

Can impure body, speech, and mind be transformed into pure body, speech, and mind, or are they entirely separate? All Buddhas are cases of beings who were like ourselves and then in dependence on the path became enlightened; Buddhism does not assert that there is anyone who from the beginning is free from faults and possesses all good qualities.

The development of pure body, speech, and mind comes from gradually leaving the impure states arid their being transformed into the pure………. How is this done? The path is indicated by the next four syllables. Mani, meaning jewel, symbolizes the factors of method-the altruistic intention to become enlightened, compassion, and love. Just as a jewel is capable of removing poverty, so the altruistic mind of enlightenment is capable of removing the poverty, or difficulties, of cyclic existence and of solitary peace. Similarly, just as a jewel fulfills the wishes of sentient beings, so the altruistic intention to become enlightened fulfills the wishes of sentient beings……….

The two syllables, padme, meaning lotus, symbolize wisdom. Just as a lotus grows forth from mud but is not sullied by the faults of mud, so wisdom is capable of putting you in a situation of non-contradiction whereas there would be contradiction if you did not have wisdom. There is wisdom realizing impermanence, wisdom realizing that persons are empty, of being self-sufficient or substantially existent, wisdom that realizes the emptiness of duality-that is to say, of difference of entity between subject an object-and wisdom that realizes the emptiness of inherent existence. Though there are many different types of wisdom, the main of all these is the wisdom realizing emptiness……….

Purity must be achieved by an indivisible unity of method and wisdom, symbolized by the final syllable hum, which indicates indivisibility. According to the sutra system, this indivisibility of method and wisdom refers to wisdom affected by method and method affected by wisdom. In the mantra, or tantric, vehicle, it refers to one consciousness in which there is the full form of both wisdom and method as one undifferentiable entity. In terms of the seed syllables of the five Conqueror Buddhas, hum is the seed syllable of Akshobhya – the immovable, the unfluctuating, that which cannot be disturbed by anything……….

Thus the six syllables, om mani padme hum, mean that in dependence on the practice of a path which is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech, and mind into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha. It is said that you should not seek for Buddhahood outside of yourself; the substances for the achievement of Buddhahood are within. As Maitreya says in his Sublime Continuum of the Great Vehicle (Uttaratantra), all beings naturally have the Buddha nature in their own continuum. We have within us the seed of purity, the essence of a One Gone Thus (Tathagatagarbha), that is to be transformed and fully developed into Buddhahood.

Live Recording Translation of Durwang Konchok Norbu Rinpoche

The Six-Syllable Mantra ‘OM MANI PADME HUM’ is the heart mantra of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara as well as all the Buddhas. Avalokiteshvara is the compassionate embodiment of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas; the mantra is the essence of the 84,000 (literally means uncountable methods) of Buddha’s teachings.

Reciting “OM MANI PADME HUM” is all-powerful and brings blessings to all sentient beings in the six realms of existence. The benefits of reciting the “OM MANI PADME HUM” are:

Purifying our negative karma, removing obstruction, bad habits and ignorance.
Closing the door to the six realm of reincarnation.
Removing physical and mental sickness.
Repelling demonic forces.
Liberating us from samsara and thus allowing us to be reborn in Pure Land.

Green Tara Mantra Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha brings benefits like swift protection from fears, obstacles (internal & external), and negativity, fostering courage, inner peace, healing, and clarity. It helps in fulfilling wishes, supporting spiritual growth, removing life’s hindrances, and cultivating compassion, aligning practitioners with Green Tara’s active, nurturing energy for transformation and liberation.

Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche) Mantra

admin — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

May Guru Rinpoche’s blessing through his Vajra Guru mantra grant enlightenment and healing to yourself and others.
– Ricardo B Serrano, student of Mingyur Rinpoche

The Vajra Guru mantra, OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM, is pronounced by Tibetans: Om Ah Hung Benza Guru Pema Siddhi Hung. This explanation of its meaning is based on explanations by Dudjorn Rinpoche and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche.

OM AH HUM
The syllable OM AH HUM have outer, inner, and “secret” meanings. At each of these levels, however, OM stands for the body, AH for the speech, and HUM for the mind. They represent the transformative blessings of the body, speech, and mind of all the buddhas…

VAJRA GURU PADMA
VAJRA is compared to the diamond, the strongest and most precious of stones. Just as a diamond can cut through anything but is itself completely indestructible, so the unchanging, nondual wisdom of the buddhas can never be harmed or destroyed by ignorance, and can cut through all delusions and obscurations. The qualities and activities of the body, speech, and wisdom mind of the buddhas are able to benefit beings with the piercing, unhindered power of the diamond. And like the diamond, the Vajra is free of defects; its brilliant strength comes from the realization of the Dharmakaya nature of reality, the nature of the Buddha Amitabha…

SIDDHI HUM
SIDDHI means “real accomplishment,” “attainment,” “blessing,” and “realization.” There are two kinds of siddhis: ordinary and supreme. Through receiving the blessing of ordinary siddhis, all obstacles in our lives, such as ill-health, are removed, all our good aspirations are fulfilled, benefits like wealth and prosperity and long life accrue to us, and all of life’s various circumstances become auspicious and conducive to spiritual practice, and the realization of enlightenment…

The essential meaning of the mantra is: “I invoke you, the Vajra Guru, Padmasambhava, by your blessing may you grant us ordinary and supreme siddhis.”

The Buddha says in one of the Tantras: “Of all the buddhas who have ever attained enlightenment, not a single one accomplished this without relying upon a master, and of all the thousand buddhas that will appear in this eon, none of them will attain enlightenment without relying on a master.”

Excerpts from page 146, Nityananda is the divine presence

Referential Reading:

We are all buddhas!

Hum!
In the northwest of the land of Oddiyana,
In the heart of a lotus flower,
Endowed with the most marvelous attainments,
You are renowned as the “Lotus-born,”
Surrounded by hosts of dakinis.
Following in your footsteps,
I pray to you: Come, inspire me with your blessing! GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM…

OM AH HUM VAJRA GURU PADMA SIDDHI HUM

Excerpts from page 151, Nityananda is the divine presence

“If people come to meditation in order to get rid of thoughts, this encounter with the monkey-mind might be disheartening. But we do not have to get rid of the monkey-mind. Ignoring this thought-factory never works, and suppressing it is impossible. But we can befriend it. How do we do this? By hanging around. We’re not aggressive. We do not try to conquer or control our new friend, but if we want to get to know its qualities, we have to stay present for the encounter. When we begin to meditate, no matter what style or tradition we follow, we will surely meet the monkey. But with awareness meditation, we give the monkey a constructive job to do.”
– Mingyur Rinpoche
