Question
Answer some questions on a Tantric deity, for 10 points each:
[10h] This female buddha and ḍākinī is partially named for the Sanskrit for “diamond” or “thunderbolt”. She is the supreme deity of the Tantric pantheon and the consort of Heruka Cakrasaṃvara.
ANSWER: Vajrayoginī [or Dorjé Neljorma; or Jīngāng Yújiāmǔ]
[10m] Depictions of Vajrayoginī in these symbols usually show her with red skin and in a dancing pose. A Tibetan translation emphasizes the distinction between centre and periphery in these symbols, which are usually geometric patterns that represent sacred space.
ANSWER: maṇḍala [or dkyil ’khor or màntúluó]
[10e] Maṇḍalas are often used as aids to this practice, which the Buddha practiced under the Bodhi tree. Vajrayoginī is an iṣṭadevatā (“ISH-tuh-DAY-vuh-TUH”), meaning she is a deity of this practice, which is a type of internal reflection.
ANSWER: meditation [or dhyāna; or bhāvanā; or gom; or bsam gtan; or chán; accept vipaśyanā; accept śamatha]
