The tradition of Mañjuvajra Wisdom of Guhyasamāja


The tradition of Mañjuvajra’s Guhyasamāja has three faces and six arms. The main face is reddish yellow, the right face is blue, and the left face is white. The first two hands embrace the self-appearing consort. The remaining two right hands hold a sword and an arrow, and the remaining two left hands hold a blue utpala stem and a bow. He has the five prongs of his hair, and he radiates the light of the then sun. He is adorned with silks and jewels. He sits on a lotus and moon seat in the vajra posture. The consort is also like the father, but she has all the attributes of a goddess, and her two legs are in the lotus posture and embrace the father. Mañjuvajra is taught for those who are suitable to be tamed by the mere form of a universal monarch, without the need for any obvious conduct that uses desire as the path.
