A key figure in Vajrayana Buddhism, Vajrayogini represents the synthesis of bliss and emptiness, as well as the pinnacle of wisdom. She is portrayed as a ferocious red goddess holding a skullcup and a knife with a vajra handle, signifying the transformational force of enlightenment. Her techniques are complex and call for the right initiation, such as visualization and reciting mantras. Vajrayogini, who is revered in the Sakya, Kagyu, and Gelug schools, is particularly important to female practitioners as a symbol of empowerment and feminine enlightenment. She also plays a vital role in assisting practitioners on their path to enlightenment.
