Bodhisattva Gauri-mahavidya
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.

Bodhisattva Gauri-mahavidya 大明白身菩萨 also known as the Vajra of Releasing Light or Constant Purity. Thus named as he is a deity manifesting perfect purity & freedom from defilement. In the Garbhakosa Mandala he is located in the 1st row of the Lotus Court, 2nd from the bottom. His flesh is pale yellow, & is seated on a red lotus. In the left hand he holds a fully bloomed lotus & his right forms a mudra of wish fulfillment. If there are sentient beings desiring absolute freedom this deity is able to grant their wishes by his virtue.
His Garbhakosa mantra is: Namah samanta buddhanam ksah dah ra yam kam
