Vajrasattva is always crowned, with or without his sakti (consort) His body is white with one face and two hands. he generally holds vajra in his right hand Against his breast but the vajra may be balanced on its point in the palm of his hand. His left hand holds a silver bell at his side. He sits in the Vajraparyanka posture wearing precious silks and ornaments with jewel diadem. His body is adorned with 32 major and 80 minor marks of a Sambhogakaya and emits a clear limitless light. It appears to lack all notion of substantiality, like the reflection of moon in water.

Vajrasattva has father-mother ( Yab-Yum or Shakti) aspect too. Generally this form is not exhibited in open. It is shown only to those who are initiated in Highest Yoga Tantra. His form is the same as in the single one but his consort carries a kartrika in her right hand and a kapala in her left hand.

VAJRA GURU MANTRA
Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padme
Siddhi Hum

Pronounciation (Tibetan): Om Ah Hum Benza Guru Pema Siddhi Hum.
Mantra for Peace, Healing, Transformation and Protection.


This mantra comes from Padmasambhava, the patron saint of Tibet. Padmasambhava (also known as Guru Rinpoche) was an Indian siddha who was invited to Tibet by King Trisong Detsen, to propagate the doctrine of Buddha. Because Padmasambhava’s teachings contain many hidden treasures intended for generations to come, he has become known as the most important Tibetan master.

What is Meaning of Vajra Guru Mantra?

To get a clear view of the meaning of the words, we divide this mantra in three parts:

Om Ah Hum / Vajra Guru Padme / Siddhi Hum.

These syllables have an outer, inner and secret meaning. The sounds and the intention during reciting purify on the different levels.

OM stands for the Body and also the essence of form,
AH stands for Speech and the essence of sound,
HUM for Spirit and the essence of spirituality.

At the deepest level OM purifies the way to a limitless compassion, AH to a shining nature and HUM realizes the kernel of heavenly reality.

The Vajra or Thunderbolt is the Diamond that stands for unlimited power – for great wisdom that cannot be destroyed by ignorance. Read about The Vajra or Thunderbolt

GURU stands for somebody who possesses a beautiful quality in wisdom as well as compassion; it signifies the outer and the inner master.
PADME or Pema means Lotus and in this text stands for enlightened speech.

SIDDHI means the real attainment, fulfillment of wisdom of all Buddha’s and brings the mantra into its consecration.

HUM for Spirit and the essence of spirituality.

Some Facts About Global warming

Earth is already showing many signs of worldwide climate change.
• Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius) around the world since 1880, much of this in recent decades, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
• The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies. And the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850.
• The Arctic is feeling the effects the most. Average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen at twice the global average, according to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report compiled between 2000 and 2004.
• Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting—for example, Montana's Glacier National Park now has only 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910. In the Northern Hemisphere, thaws also come a week earlier in spring and freezes begin a week later.
• Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first completely ice-free summer by 2040 or earlier. Polar bears and indigenous cultures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss.
• Coral reefs, which are highly sensitive to small changes in water temperature, suffered the worst bleaching—or die-off in response to stress—ever recorded in 1998, with some areas seeing bleach rates of 70 percent. Experts expect these sorts of events to increase in frequency and intensity in the next 50 years as sea temperatures rise.

• An upsurge in the amount of extreme weather events, such as wildfires, heat waves, and strong tropical storms, is also attributed in part to climate change by some experts.

Maitreya Buddha - Future Manushi Buddha

Maitreya [The future and fifth human-Buddha], The Compassionate One
Posture of hands [Mudra]: dharmacakra [turning the wheel of law]
Symbol: kalasa [vase], cakra [wheel],
Body color: yellow or white
Emblem: naga pushpa [white flower with yellow center]

Buddhist tradition divides the period between the death of Buddha and the manifestation of Maitreya in the actual universe into three divisions of time:
I) Period of 500 years, 'the turning of the Wheel of the first Law'.
II) Period of 1,000 years, period of deterioration of 'the law of images' [Sadharma pratirupaka].
III) Period of 3000 years, 'the turning of the Wheel of the second Law', after which Maitreya will leave the Tushita heaven and come upon earth to 'establish the lost truths in all their purity.'

Maitreya is the only Bodhisattva, who is popular among all the Buddhism sects, i.e., the Theravada or Hinayana, Mahayana(Different BetweenTheravada and Mahayana Buddhism ), and the Vajrayana, and often his statues and paintings are found in all Buddhist shrines of northern and southern Buddhist.
Sakya-muni is supposed to have visited Maitreya in the Tushita heaven when he appointed him his successor, and many Buddhist sages [arhats] are believed to have had communion with him, transporting themselves by supernatural means to the Tushita heaven to seek enlightenment on various religious points. The great Asanga, one thousand years after the birth of Buddha Sakya-muni, ascended to the Tushita heaven, where Maitreya, initiated him, into the mystic doctrine of Tantra, which he grafted on to the Mahayana school in the beginning of the sixth century. Certain sects therefore look upon, Maitreya, as the founder of the Tantra school.

Although the cult of Maitreya was evolved before Indian King Asoka's time, his worship was not at its height until the fifth century AD, and there are many statues of him in the famous Gandhara sculptures of that period. He is represented either as Buddha or Boddhisattva. As Buddha he often with long hair drawn up in a knot on his head forming the ushnisha, his hands in dharmacakra mudra [turning the Wheel of the Law]; and as Boddhisattva he may be standing with his long hair hanging over his shoulders and his hands form 'argument' and 'charity' mudra [posture]. Read about Mudra at 5 Meditaion Buddha Hand Gesture(mudra)'s Meanings
Tibetan Schools of Buddhism also worship Maitreya both as Buddha and Boddhisattva. As Buddha, he has short curly hairs, the ushnisha, urna, and long lobed ears. He wears monastic garment with crown and ornaments, and his hands are in dharmacakra mudra both holding lotuses stems with cakra [Wheel] in right and kalasa vase in left. He is seated with legs locked or sometime the legs, instead of locked, are pendent, and the feet may be unsupported.

We may find some minor difference in his iconographic representation among the various sects of Buddhism. The early Mongolian images of Maitreya are also generally standing, and hold in their hands forming 'argument' and 'charity' mudra, the stems of flowers called 'campa', which, however, in the bronzes often resembles the lotus flower.

In the bas-reliefs of the temple of Boro Boedoer, there are many representations of Maitreya, which date from the ninth century. In Java Indonesia, he is also found in statuary form, as for instance in the temple of Tjandi Mendut, where he is figured seated the leg pendent and the hands in the dharmacakra mudra.
In the ancient Gandhara sculptures, Maitreya was represented much larger than his assistants were. According to the Chinese traveler Hsuan Tsang, there is a statue of Maitreya at Dardu, north of the Punjab, in wood, which is one hundred feet high. It is said to have been created by artist whom Lohan Madhyantika caused, by magic, to mount three times to the Tushita heaven to contemplate the form of Maitreya before carving the statue.

The group of five Manushi Buddha, corresponding with Panca-Dhyani-Buddha and five meditative Bodhisattvas are mentioned as below.

1:KRAKUCHANDRA is a first Manushi Buddha, who is emanated from the first Dhyani Buddha Vairocana.
2: KANAKMUNI is considered as second Manushi Buddha, emanated from second Dhyani Buddha Akshobhya.
3:KASYAPA is considered as the third Manushi Buddha being emanated from third Dhyani Buddha Ratnasambhava.
4:SAKYA-MUNI is a forth Manushi Buddha, who is emanated from fourth Dhyani Buddha Amitabha.
5:MAITREYA is the fifth Manushi Buddha, emanated from fifth Dhyani Buddha Amogasiddhi.

Buddha Hand Gestures (Mudra)

5 Meditaion Buddha Hand Gestures (mudra) Meanings

Mudras are symbolic gestures or position of hands, used symbolically in Buddha images and in practice to evoke particular ideas or Buddhas in the mind during Buddhist meditation or ritual.

Like symbols held by gods in Hindu art or by saints in Christian art, Buddhist mudras indicate the identity of a Buddha or a particular scene being depicted.

Mudras are also used in ritual meditation, especially in Tibetan Buddhism, to generate forces that invoke a particular Buddha or deity.
While there are a large number of esoteric mudras, there are ten main ones, of which five are most commonly used in Buddha images. Each of the Five Dhyani Buddhas is assigned one of the five mudras, with which they are invariably depicted in art.


Dharma Chakra Mudra
The Gesture of Turning the Wheel of Dharma or also Called Dharma chakra mudra, the thumb and index finger of the right hand stand for wisdom and method combined. The other three raised fingers symbolize the teaching of the Buddhist doctrine, which leads sentient beings to the paths of the beings of three capacities. The position of the left hand symbolizes the beings of the three capacities, who follow the combined path of method and wisdom. This mudra Is characteristic of Dhyani Buddha Vairochana. It is also a mudra of Lord Buddha while preaching his first Sermon at Sarnath.

The Gesture of touching the Earth (Bhumi Sparsa)
The right hand gestures pressing or touching the earth. The position of the left hand symbolizes meditation. Together, they stand for the Buddha's overcoming of hindrances while meditating on emptiness. this is characteristic mudra of Akshobhaya. This mudra of touching the earth commemorating Gautam Buddha's victory over temptation by the demon Mara.

The Gesture of Meditation (Samadhi Mudra)

The nerve channel associated with the mind of enlightenment (Bodhichitta) passes through the thumbs. Thus, joining of the two thumbs in this gesture is of auspicious significance for the future development of the mind of enlightenment. This is characteristic Mudra of dhyani Buddha Amitava or Amitabha

The Gesture(mudra) Supreme Accomplishment and Meditation

The gesture of the right hand symbolizes bestowal of supreme accomplishment. That of the left hand symbolizes meditation. Together, they stand for the Buddha's power to bestow supreme and general accomplishments on his disciples, while he meditates on emptiness. This is characteristic mudra of Ratna Sambhaba Buddha.

Abhaya Mudra
It is the gesture of fearlessness and protection, also combination of turning the Wheel of Dharma and Meditation. The gesture of the right hand stands for turning the wheel of Dharma, while that of the left hand symbolizes meditation. The two conjoined symbolize teaching the Dharma while in meditation on emptiness. This is The Characteristic Mudra of Dhyani Buddha Amoghasiddhi.
