Nairatmya

Description of Nairatmya

The name Nairatmya translates as “She Who Has Realized Selflessness,” or “Lady of Emptiness,” which refers to a female Buddha. Buddhism asserts it is an illusion for us to believe that we are autonomous, distinct selves. Because, in reality, there is a tremendous web of communion that binds everything that exists to us. This insight is personified in Nairatmya. Her skin is a deep shade of blue that reflects the boundless breadth of her consciousness. She moves around the cosmos unhindered, much like the element of space, because she has transcended ego-centered life. Her eyes sparkle with the insight of one who comprehends the depths and complexities of life. She lifts the curved sword she wields, the “Kartika,” toward the sky, ready to sever any unfavorable mental states that may manifest. She disintegrates illusions in her skullcup (kapala), restoring them to their fundamental nature as shimmering rainbows of energy in space.

Buddhist Gods

The Buddhist pantheon comprises hundreds of Gods and Goddesses. They are intended to illustrate the multiple aspects of enlightenment, including its wrathful and furious sides, as well as its peaceful and beneficial aspects. In Mahayana Buddhism, gods, goddesses, and other spiritual beings play a much bigger role than in Theravada Buddhism. They symbolize the energies, forces, and entities that surround and fill human life. They also mirror the human spirit's deeper depths, reflecting attributes that can be awakened through spiritual practice. Voluptuous tree spirits, maternal nurturers, elevated knowledge figures, benevolent healers, potent protectors, cosmic mothers of liberation, and dancing female Buddhas are all part of the pantheon. Childbirth, agriculture, fortune, longevity, art, music, knowledge, love, magic, and occult rituals are all overseen by gods, goddesses, and other spiritual beings. Some of them protect against diseases, snakebites, demons, curses, untimely death, and all other fatal dangers. There are also gods, goddesses, and other spiritual beings that aid practitioners in their quest for knowledge, mental cleansing, higher rebirth, and complete spiritual enlightenment.
