Vajrayoginī ((サンスクリット:''Vajrayoginī''); , Dorjé Neljorma; (モンゴル語:Огторгуйд Одогч, Нархажид), ) is the vajra . She is an Anuttarayoga Tantra iṣṭadevatā and her practice includes methods for preventing ordinary death, intermediate state (bardo) and rebirth (by transforming them into paths to enlightenment), and for transforming all mundane daily experiences into higher spiritual paths.〔Guide to Dakini Land page xii, a commentary to ''Illuminating All Hidden Meanings'' () by Je Tsongkhapa.〕 Vajrayoginī is a generic female iṣṭadevatā and although she is sometimes visualized as simply Vajrayoginī, in a collection of her sādhanās she is visualized in an alternate form in over two thirds of the practices. Her other forms include Vajravārāhī ( "Vajra Sow") and ''Krodikali'' (alt. ''Krodhakali'', ''Kālikā'', ''Krodheśvarī'', ''Krishna Krodhini'', Tibetan ''Tröma Nakmo''; , "Wrathful Lady", "Fierce Black One").〔(The Forms of Vajrayoginī ) Himalayan Art Resources〕〔(Vajrayoginī - Krodha Kali (Wrathful Black Varahi) )〕 Vajrayoginī is a and a Vajrayana Buddhist iṣṭadevatā. As such, she is a female Buddha. Vajrayoginī is often described with the epithet ''sarvabuddhaḍākiṇī'', meaning "the who is the Essence of all Buddhas".〔() Vajrayogini - Buddhist Tantric Practice Support (see #General characteristics) from BerzinArchives.com〕 Vajrayogini's sādhanā originated in India between the tenth and twelfth centuries. It evolved from the , where Vajrayoginī appears as his Yab-Yum consort,〔(Paramasukha-Chakrasamvara and Vajravarahi )〕〔(Shamvara and Vajravarahi in Yab Yum )〕 to become a stand-alone practice of Anuttarayoga Tantra in its own right.〔English, Elizabeth (2002). ''Vajrayoginī: Her Visualizations, Rituals, & Forms''. Boston: Wisdom Publications. ISBN 0-86171-329-X〕 The practice of Vajrayoginī belongs to the Mother Tantra () class of Anuttarayoga Tantras along with other tantras such as the Cakrasaṃvara and Hevajra Tantras. According to scholar Miranda Shaw, Vajrayoginī is "inarguably the supreme deity of the Tantric pantheon. No male Buddha, including her divine consort, Heruka-Cakrasaṃvara, approaches her in metaphysical or practical import." ==Origin and Lineage== Vajrayana teaches that the two stages of the practice of Vajrayoginī (generation stage and completion stage) were originally taught by Vajradhara. He manifested in the form of Heruka to expound the ''Root Tantra of Chakrasaṃvara'', and it was in this tantra that he explained the practice of Vajrayoginī. All the many lineages of instructions on Vajrayoginī can be traced back to this original revelation. Of these lineages, there are three that are most commonly practiced: the Narokhachö lineage, which was transmitted from Vajrayoginī to Naropa; the Maitrikhachö lineage, which was transmitted from Vajrayoginī to Maitripa; and the Indrakhachö lineage, which was transmitted from Vajrayoginī to Indrabodhi. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vajrayogini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
