Yeshe Tsogyal, the great wisdom queen, is Tibet's best-known dakini and female master. She is revered as the foremost disciple and consort of Padmasambhava, the eighth-century master credited with a primary role in establishing Buddhism in Tibet. The "Victorious Ocean of Wisdom," Yeshe Tsogyal was born a princess and suffered many trials while in meditative solitude; through those trials, she gained fuel for her practice and ultimately gained realization. She is viewed as a female Buddha who took human form to propagate the dharma, and continues to motivate and encourage practitioners - both male and female - today.
More than just a historic figure, Yeshe Tsogyal is an active presence in the life of contemporary practitioners. She is considered an emanation of Saraswati, Samantabhadri, Prajnaparamita, and Vajrayogini, and a reincarnation of the Buddha Shakyamuni's mother, Maya. Displaying her image can help to powerfully support your practice.
The base of this statue can be opened for filling and consecration.
