From Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search



The Vajraguhya Vajramandala which constitutes the supreme samaya-mudra represents the Mind of Vairocana, which is revealed by the thirty-seven female deities who are manifested through the samadhi of Vajrasattva or Vajrapani and are replaced by their symbols in the constructed mandala. These thirty-seven

female deities, who symbolise the minds of the thirty-seven deities of the Vajradhdtu Mahamandala and the Buddha's infinite love, generate the love or passion insiden the sadhaka's mind, the power by which the sadhaka gains the four attainments, i.e. subjugation, attraction, destruction and pacification.
