Vajrayogini as Naro Dakini, 18th century. Creator: Unknown
Vajrayogini as Naro Dakini, 18th century. The goddess and Buddha Vajrayogini lunges powerfully as she tramples two figures that symbolize the three mental poisons: delusion, hatred, and desire. In this form, known as Naro Dakini, she is associated with the 11th-century tantric master Naropa, to whom she is believed to have revealed spiritual teachings. Holding a curved knife to sever the ignorance that is inherent to mundane perception, she lifts her skull-cup (symbolizing emptiness, the nature of true reality) to drink the blood it contains, which transmutes into the nectar of supreme, enlightened bliss. The double-triangle diagram that frames her has many layers of meaning and represents the origin of everything that truly exists. In meditation, one visualizes oneself as Vajrayogini arising from such a diagram, surrounded by attending figures, and destroying obstacles to enlightenment

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 18th century print depicts the revered Buddhist deity Vajrayogini in her form as Naro Dakini. In this manifestation, she is associated with the 11th-century tantric master Naropa, who is believed to have received spiritual teachings from her. Vajrayogini is shown lunging powerfully, trampling underfoot two figures that symbolize the three mental poisons: delusion, hatred, and desire. In her right hand, she holds a curved knife, symbolizing the severing of ignorance that is inherent to mundane perception. With her left hand, she lifts a skull-cup, representing emptiness, the nature of true reality, which transmutes into the nectar of supreme, enlightened bliss. The double-triangle diagram that frames Vajrayogini has many layers of meaning and represents the origin of everything that truly exists. In meditation, practitioners visualize themselves as Vajrayogini arising from such a diagram, surrounded by attending figures, and destroying obstacles to enlightenment. This beautiful work of art, created using tempera and gold on cloth, showcases the rich heritage of Tibetan Buddhism and its intricate symbolism. The vibrant colors of gold, red, and green add to the deity's powerful presence, making this a truly captivating and spiritual piece.
