Details
Also known as Dorje Phagmo, Vajravarahi is a representation of complete Buddhahood in female form, whose practices are associated with the Chakrasamvara cycle of Anuttarayoga Tantra. Although her practice exists in all schools of Tibetan Buddhism, she is particularly associated with the Kagyu tradition and has appeared to and bestowed initiations on some Mahasiddhas over the years.
Red in colour with a wrathful expression, Vajravarahi has one face, two arms and three eyes. She holds a cemetery knife in her right hand, and a skull cup in her left. In the crook of her left elbow is a khatvanga staff and her two legs are in a celestial dancing posture on a human corpse. She is often depicted with a sow's head on the side of her own, symbolic of triumph of dharma over ignorance.
Making offerings to her image makes a connection with this extremely potent Buddha and seeing her plants seeds of Enlightenment in our mindstream. Her image pacifies our immediate environment, clears negative energy and protects from negative interferences.
This Vajravarahi statue can be personalised with a hand-painted face using real gold dust or insertion of mantras and holy items. One can also offer traditional brocade clothing, pearls and semi-precious stones, as H.E. the 25th Tsem Rinpoche always encourages the practice of making offerings to the Three Jewels, which creates the causes for us to attain the six paramitas (perfections).
