Shri Devi - Palden Lhamo starting with ignorance and ending

starting with ignorance and ending with aging and death

handwoven black cotton

and rain pours from the jewels they squeeze in their claws

forms and hues of his eleven heads are identical to the thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara

At its core

Shri Devi - Palden Lhamo starting with ignorance and endingPalden Lhamo is one of the principle guardian gods of Buddhism in Tibet, particularly of the Geluk school. Unlike most other protector deities, she is considered a realized adept in the Tantric path and hence receives more reverence than other protector deities, such as those tamed by Padmasambhava. Being so, she is one of the very few guardian deities considered worthy of prostration. The first mention of Palden Lhamo in the annals of Tibetan history
