Nairãtmyã (pronounced: nai RAHT MYAH, Tib. bdag med ma, pron. Dagmema), translated as "Lady of Emptiness" or "She Who Has Realized Selflessness." is a female Buddha. Buddhism teaches that to perceive ourselves as independent, separate selves, is an illusion. For in truth we are connected with all that exists in a vast web of communion (without self). Nairatmya embodies this realization (also called pudgala- nairatmya, the not-permanent-selfness of persons). Her body is blue, the color of infinite space, reflecting the limitless expanse of her awareness.

Her eyes blaze with the wisdom of one who understands the mysteries and depths of life. She raises her curved knif

  • Nairãtmyã (pronounced: nai RAHT MYAH, Tib. bdag med ma, pron. Dagmema), translated as "Lady of Emptiness" or "She Who Has Realized Selflessness." is a female Buddha. Buddhism teaches that to perceive ourselves as independent, separate selves, is an illusion. For in truth we are connected with all that exists in a vast web of communion (without self). Nairatmya embodies this realization (also called pudgala- nairatmya, the not-permanent-selfness of persons). Her body is blue, the color of infinite space, reflecting the limitless expanse of her awareness. Like the element of space, she flows through the universe without impediment, for she has transcended ego-centered existence. Her eyes blaze with the wisdom of one who understands the mysteries and depths of life. She raises her curved knife (kartika) skyward, poised to sever negative mindstates wherever they arise. In her skullcup (kapala), she pulverizes illusions and returns them to their original state - a mere play of light, a rainbow of energy, shimmering in empty space.
