Dorje Phagmo: The Powerful Sow-Headed Mother of Wisdom

The Wrathful Emissary of Liberation

Dorje Phagmo is also known as Vajravarahi, is a fierce manifestation of wisdom in Tibetan Buddhism, represented as a sow-headed goddess who embodies the transformative power of the vajra (indestructible truth). This statue typically depicts Dorje Phagmo in a dynamic, wrathful pose, standing in a powerful stance or dancing in a circle of flames, symbolizing her ability to destroy ignorance and delusions. The sow’s head, often emerging from the side of her crown, signifies her direct and fierce nature, cutting through all obstacles on the path to enlightenment. Her body is often adorned with skull garlands and bone ornaments, signifying the impermanence of life and the need to transcend worldly attachments. In her hands, she holds the kartika (ritual knife), which represents the cutting of the ego, and the kapala (skull cup), symbolizing the transformation of negative emotions into enlightened awareness. The flames that surround her represent the purifying fire of wisdom that burns away ignorance, delusions, and egoic desires.
