FINALLY a video on Simhamukha! I am tremendously drawn to this Dakini as wells as all the wrathful deities. I find comfort in them. Thank you for posting!
When H.E. Zazep Tulku Rinpoche was providing a Highest Yoga Tantra Empowerment in Toronto, I spontaneously saw him as Cittamani Tara, flanked by Simhamukha and Vajrayogini, sitting on a lotus throne, in Yulokod. 🌸Instantly, wisdom arose: all the three yidams were emanations of the same Supreme Mother Prajnaparamita.🌸
I recited Her mantra as instructed by Lama Dawa Chodack at first against mamos or Matrkas. I had been attacked by such.He gave me the empowerment later. I did front first
Thank you so much ❤ for a clear insight and understanding of different Buddhist concepts of worship.🙏 Your is the only channel since the last 5 years of search❤
Thank you for your thoughtful question. This is often the way it is presented in teachings from the various lineages. But, in general terms, in Mahayana Buddhism, generally, Wisdom is considered to be the "Mother of all Buddhas" while Compassion (or Skillful Means) is considered to be the "Father of all Buddhas." In this way, Tara is the Mother of all Buddhas, as she is the form from which all the female Buddhas emanate (as she represents the activity of Wisdom (ultimately this is Prajnaparmita, or wisdom). Likewise, Avalokiteshvara is the "Father of all Buddhas" as he represents the compassion of all the Buddhas. In TIbetan Buddhism, there is a very old saying "All males are emanations of Avalokiteshvara" (Chenrezig) and "All females are emanations of Tara" (Wisdom). Likewise, often in the teachings, you'll hear a teacher say, "Vajrayogini is an emanation of Tara" or "Sengdongma" is an emanation of Tara. Ultimately, of course, there is also no male or female. In the symbology of Vajrayana Buddhism, the Five Wisdom Dakinis are the Dakini-aspects of Widom: Karma Dakini (Green for activity), Buddha Dakini (White for pacifying), Padma Dakini (Red for power and magnetizing), Vajra Dakini (Blue for wrathful activities) and Ratna Dakini (Yellow for accumulating activities and auspiciousness). These are all considered to be the Dakini aspects of the five consorts of the Dhyani Buddhas. Karma Dakini, specifically, is Green Tara's Dakini aspect as wisdom consort of Amoghasiddhi. Equally, Ratna Dakini is the Dakini aspect of Yellow Tara (Wisdom) in the Ratna (yellow) form. Padma Dakini is Kurukulle, red Tara, etc. Likewise, the Five Sengdonmas (Karma Sengdonma (green), Buddha Sengdonma (white), and so on) are the very wrathful emanations of the Wisdom Dakinis. (The symbology is usually, the peaceful consorts are seated like a contemplative Buddha (or in the case of Tara, with one leg thrust out), the Wisdom Dakinis are semi-wrathful and dancing or standing, and the Sengdomas are extremely wrathful versions of these Dakinis. But, ultimately, all Wisdom emanates from Tara (also from Prajnaparamita, but that's a longer explanation, so, refer to various features (many) on buddhaweekly.com for more on this topic, or specifically in the Tara subsection: buddhaweekly.com/tara/ ). All of this is understood in the comlex of the reasoning on Shunyata, (Emptiness of ego), the doctrine of Buddha Nature, and so on. Ultimately, Enlightened Beings, when they understand Buddhist Wisdom, understand that all beings are Oneness - if you strip away the artificial construct of our physical-world conditioning and cultural training. Once ego is gone, we are all utimately aspects of One -- this is a deep topic, under logic of Buddha Nature (all beings have Buddha Nature -- when all the "poisons" (attachments, anger, and so on) are stripped away (through meditation and other practices) we realize that ego is artificially constructed. There's are encyclopedic Sutras on this topic and more in the dissertations. The enemy (which is quaintly called demons or poisons) are usually the attachments generated by our egos such as anger, jealousy, hate, craving, and so on. At the ultimate level, therefore, we are all Tara and Avalokiteshvara - the nature of Wisdom and Compassion. Only in the relative reality of Samsara, we cling to notions of "me" and "I" and "she" or "he." To help us in relative reality the Buddhas emanate in countless forms (this is the subject of chapter 25 of the Lotus Sutra, where it is explained Avalokiteshvara can emanate in any form, etc.). Until such time as we attain Enlightenment we seek refuge in these various Enlightened forms.
Thank you for watching. They are similar in attributes/appearance, although Lion-Faced Dakini's face is a snow-lion, which is highly symbolic in Tibetan Buddhism. To symbolize her Enlightenment she has a third eye and stands on a lotus and sun disc, and, to symbolize Shunyata from which she arises (i.e. emptiness) her body is the color of space (black). So, best answer is they just appear similar, but they're not the same. Wisdom Dakini's can take any form as a skillful means. For example, Tara can appear (and often does) as multiple forms, from gods to humans to cannibals (i.e. Palden Lhamo), and even as Lion-Faced Dakini -- depending on the needs of suffering beings. The Enlightened Essence, in this way of thinking (relative reality) can appear relatively as any deity or being (and is, in fact an aspect of that being, since in the nature of Shunyata all beings are Oneness). The attributes and appearances are for our benefit. In this case, Lion Faced Dakini Simhamukha is an emanated aspect of Wisdom (as she is a Wisdom Dakini), and ultimately therefore an aspect of Prajnaparamita. In kindness, BW

What is the relation between Tara and Sengdongma?
If she doesn't come under 5 wisdom dakinis than how she is a wisdom dakini?

She is very much similar to prathyangira devi both are same?
