About Niguma Mandala
Niguma is regarded as one of the most influential and revered yoginis in Vajrayana Buddhism, believed to have lived in the 10th or 11th century. A Dakini and co-founder of the Shangpa Kagyu school of Vajrayana Buddhism, Niguma played a key role in the transmission of Tantric teachings and practices. She is depicted as an embodiment of wisdom and compassion, and her teachings continue to inspire practitioners of Vajrayana Buddhism today.
This mandala represents Niguma's profound spiritual legacy and is used as a tool for meditation and spiritual guidance. The circular design of the mandala symbolizes the cosmos, representing the interconnectedness of all things and the infinite cycle of existence. The mandala is a sacred geometry that serves to focus the mind, establish a sacred space, and deepen one’s practice.
Niguma’s figure is often associated with multiple names, such as Yogini Vimalashri, Vajradhara Niguma, and Jñana Dakini (Wisdom Dakini). She is also referred to as "The Sister," highlighting her close spiritual connection with Naropa, the great Buddhist teacher and adept.
