Vajravarahi, also known as Dorje Phagmo, represents the complete Buddhahood in female form and is deeply connected with the Chakrasamvara Cycle of Anuttarayoga Tantra. Though her practice spans across all Tibetan Buddhist traditions, Vajravarahi holds special significance in the Kagyu tradition, where she has been a powerful figure, often appearing to and bestowing initiations upon Mahasiddhas.
Vajravarahi’s image is a symbol of the potent energies of protection, transformation, and enlightenment. When making offerings to her, practitioners connect with this powerful female Buddha, planting seeds of enlightenment within their minds. Her presence helps to pacify the immediate environment, clear negative energies, and protect from harmful influences.
Gestures and Attributes
Vajravarahi is depicted holding a cemetery knife in her right hand and a skull cup in her left, embodying her role in cutting through ignorance and offering wisdom. The khatvanga staff, held in the crook of her left elbow, symbolizes her authority in the spiritual realm. Her stance, with legs in a celestial dancing posture atop a human corpse, illustrates her mastery over the transmutation of death and suffering into liberation. The sow’s head placed on her own is a symbolic representation of her victory over ignorance, reminding us of the transformative power of wisdom.
