Vajravarahi, also known as Vajrayogini or the Diamond Sow, is a key figure in Tibetan Buddhism and Tantric practices. She is regarded as a powerful Dakini, a female embodiment of enlightened energy and wisdom. Vajravarahi symbolizes the transformation of ordinary experiences into transcendent wisdom and represents the inseparability of bliss and emptiness.
Iconography and Meaning
• Appearance: Vajravarahi is often depicted as a fierce, wrathful deity, with a third eye symbolizing wisdom. She is usually portrayed dancing on a corpse, representing the triumph over ego and ignorance. A small pig’s head—symbolizing ignorance—is often shown emerging from her right ear, reminding practitioners of the mental obscurations she helps transform.
• Attributes: She holds a vajra-handled knife and a skull cup, representing the severing of delusions and the consumption of wisdom nectar. Her nudity symbolizes absolute openness and the unconditioned nature of reality.
Practice and Role in Tantra
Vajravarahi is a key deity in highest yoga tantra practices, especially in the Kagyu, Sakya, and Nyingma traditions. Practitioners visualize themselves as Vajravarahi during meditation to dissolve duality and develop compassion and insight. She is also closely associated with Padmasambhava and other enlightened masters in Tibetan Buddhism.
Vajravarahi practices are believed to empower practitioners to overcome ignorance and attain swift liberation. As a dakini, she embodies a guiding energy for navigating the realms of subtle consciousness, making her practice particularly important in advanced Vajrayana meditations.
