The Tibetan statue of Vajravarahi is made by statue artists in Nepal. Vajravarahi is also known as Dorje Phagmo in Tibetan and is the root of all emanations of the Dakinis. Vajravarahi is a representation of complete Buddahood in female form, whose practices are associated with the Chakrasamvara cycle of the Anuttarayoga Tantra.
Although her practice exists in all schools of Tibetan Buddhism, she is particularly associated with the Kagyu tradition and over the years has appeared and conferred initiations to some Mahasiddhas.
Making offerings to her image creates a connection with this extremely powerful Buddha and seeing her plants seeds of enlightenment in our mind stream.
Her image pacifies our immediate environment, clears negative energy and protects against negative interference.
