Nairatmya Thangka (Hand Painted, 9" x 12")

This original, hand-painted thangka features Nairatmya, a central female Buddha in Vajrayana Buddhism. Nairatmya is deeply connected to the Hevajra cycle of tantras and is depicted as the consort of Hevajra. Her practice is often regarded as both simple and effective, especially in comparison to the more complex Hevajra practices. It is said that practicing Nairatmya, particularly in the current age, can accelerate spiritual realization and enlightenment.

Symbolism & Meaning

Nairatmya's name, "Not Self," emphasizes the concept of non-attachment and the dissolution of the ego. Her practice helps practitioners overcome the delusions of self-identity and ego-clinging, essential for advancing on the path of Vajrayana. As the consort of Hevajra, she embodies wisdom and the transformative power of compassion, making her a crucial figure in tantric practices aimed at enlightenment.
