5 Dakinis + 5 Elements
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

All elements external and internal are the lama guru, like the sun and the moon.
Seeing all symbolic appearances this way, is the way to rely upon your lama guru, who is always manifesting as these.
Vajra Yogini – Water
As the stream of diligence and the moistening of the mindstream with compassion, both relative and ultimate.
She is totally positive.
Karma Dakini – Air
The force of realization and experience dispersing the obscurations clouding the sun of natural mind. like the sky. She is creating auspiciousness.
Buddha Dakini – Space
Exemplifies being free of any limits, all pervading with no center or boundary. She is pacifying.
Ratna Dakini – Earth
As the ground of unchanging trust and devotion. She enlivens and enriches.
Pema Dakini – Fire
Luminosity. Intelligent as knowledge which burns the wood of mental affliction. The flames or wisdom which enlighten the darkest of self-centered ego, delusion, or any idea of separation. She is magnetizing.
