Namgyalma Thangka Namgyalma, a powerful tantric meditation deity with a famed healing mantra. Associated with long-life and karmic purification while assisting all to gain enlightenment, she is a Bodhisattva who is known as 'The Divine Mother' in Buddhism. Namgyalma - is usually portrayed as seated on a lotus flower with three heads and eight arms with each of her hands holding one of various auspicious and ritualistic symbols. As one of the three Long-Life Deities, along with White Tara and Amitayus, she is called upon in times of illness as a remover of obstacles to aid our longevity and spiritual ascent. Namgyalma is an Ishta-devata or Yidam, which means that she is a fully enlightened meditation deity - the focus of deep personal meditation who is invoked through the recital of her mantra - ‘Om Dhrum Soha, Om Amrita Ayur Daday Soha’ Reciting this powerful mantra is said to bring infinite benefits including assisting those who say it or even those who hear it, including animals, to nirvana or higher realms of existence in the cycle of samsara. In appearance, she has a white body and her three faces of different colours which reflect her three demeanors of meditation (blue), passive (white), and wrathful (yellow) - as the perfect mother she possesses love, strength and wisdom with complete watchful awareness. On a lotus flower as a symbol of her purity and enlightenment, she is sat in padmasana, the lotus position of the Buddhas and is wearing the five-pointed crown to symbolise the wisdom of five Dhyani Buddhas. Her lower right hand is in the Varada mudra, a posture of charity, grace and wish fulfillment. On her lap, her lower left hand holds a vase containing ambrosia, the elixir of immortality. The treasure pot symbolises wish fulfillment - health, wealth and longevity but, it is also a metaphor for the concept of space, the ultimate vessel within which all phenomena exist. Two hands hold a bow and arrow, to attack the forces of delusion, also a symbol of the dual attributes of method and wisdom to achieve enlightenment. In her middle hands and over her heart, she hold the viswa vajra, symbolising balance, a four pointed thunderbolt or diamond which is the destroyer of ignorance. Her upper left hand is in the Abhaya mudra which is a protective posture and holds a Kartika, to severe material and earthly desires. Her right upper hand holds the red figure of Amitabha, the Buddha of unconditional love. This is indicating that upon death you will ascend to heaven to reside in the Pure Land of Sukhavati, meaning the Blissful. Amitabha, vows to accept any soul who calls upon him without discrimination, to be received in the Western paradise realm of Amitabha Buddha, where he resides in blissful meditation. Amitabha is Infinite Light, he strives to lead all souls towards enlightenment by shining light, love and happiness throughout the world. The Cosmic Wisdom Buddha Amitabha, or Dhyani Buddha, is the form taken to define the Dharma’s (teachings of Buddha) power to transmute lust into the wisdom of discrimination. Since 1571 during the time of the Third Dalai Lama, Gyalwa Sonam Gyatso (1543-1588), the personal monastery of the Dalai Lamas has been named after Namgyalma - the Namgyal Monastery, in Tibet. Gyalwa Sonam Gyatso was the first to be given the title of Dalai Lama, bestowed upon him in 1578 by the ruler of Mongolia, Altan Khan and retrospectively given to his two predecessors.
