Yab-Yum

Yab-yum represents the ideals of tantric sexual practice as a posture for making love. It weaves the transcendent and the immanent together by combining verticality with a deep sense of closeness.

Yab-Yum: Symbol of Divine Union

Yab-Yum is the symbol of divine union. It is the posture in which man and women are united between Heaven and Earth: a classic meditation posture. In many lovemaking postures one of the couple is underneath the other, but in Yab-Yum, both partners are equally upright.

"Yab-Yum" is a Tibetan term meaning "father-mother".

In Tibetan Tantra it is about the union of Compassion and Truth/ Wisdom. In Indian Tantra it is about the masculine as a passive meditator with the feminine as a dancing shakti in his lap... pure awareness meeting pure energy. On a metaphysical level, Yab-Yum represents the union of dualistic forms in order to attain transcendence.

In other words, when we bring apparent opposites together in love we can enter a state beyond normal consciousness: a state of oneness or unity consciousness. A remembrance of who we are beyond name and form...

This is the ultimate goal of Tantra.

True compassion is directed impartially toward all sentient beings without discriminating between those who are friends and those who are enemies. With this compassion constantly in mind, we should perform every positive act, even offering a single flower or reciting a single mantra, with the wish that it may benefit all living creatures without exception. ~ Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Green Tara, Seated in Pose of Royal Ease

China, Ming dynasty, Yongle reign mark and period, 1403–24 CE

China’s pantheon of Buddhist deities, with their accompanying rituals and artistic styles, burgeoned following its conquest by the Mongols and its absorption into the pan-Asian, multiethnic Yuan empire (1279 1368). From then on, many Chinese rulers and members of elite society, of both native and foreign heritage, became fervent devotees of Tibetan Buddhism. This faith is also known as Vajrayana (Diamond Path) Buddhism or, for its esoteric teachings derived largely from Hinduism, Tantric Buddhism. Buddhist images made in China but influenced by Tibetan (as well as Nepalese) iconography and style are termed Sino-Tibetan.

🕉❤️‍🔥I've slowly been learning my lineage. When I discovered this, I resonated deeply inhuge respect. Humility. Equanimity. My name Dharma, which was given to me at birth, means The Teachings of The Buddha/ The Path to Enlightenment. When I was five years old, I took my Buddhist vows, and I took refuge in the Dharma, Sangha, and Buddha. At the age of 12, I received my first Tibetan Buddhist name gifted to me from my root guru; Lama Choje Yeshe Losal Rinpoche. Karma Sherab; Action/Deed and Wisdom. I am a part of the Karma Kagyu lineage. 🙏🏽🕉

"Those who wish to attain supreme enlightenment in a man's body are many, but those who wish to serve the aims of beings in a woman's body are few indeed; therefore may I, until this world is emptied out, work for the benefit of sentient beings in a woman's body."
