Nairatmya

Yidam (Dagmedma)

This dark-blue figure appears as both a single yidam and also in union with her consort, the Highest Yoga Tantra male yidam Hevajra.

The name Nairatmya in Sanskrit and Dagmedma in Tibetan means 'No-Self'. This was also the name of the wife of Marpa, founder of the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.

The Yidam Nairatmya appeared to the great Mahasiddha Virupa and offered to him the practise of Hevajra. He became then the founder of the Lamdre lineage of the Sakya tradition.
