Buddha Shakyamuni “The Earth Witness Mudra” Just before Siddhartha Gautama realized enlightenment, it is said that Mara (The Lord of Death) attacked him with armies of frightening spirits to distract Siddhartha from his seat under the bodhi tree. Mara, in failing to distract Siddhartha, he claimed the seat of enlightenment for himself by saying that his spiritual accomplishments were greater than Siddhartha. Even his monstrous army of soldiers cried out together saying that they are Mara’s witnesses. At this point Mara challenged Siddhartha—”Who will speak for you?” Touching his right hand to the earth, and the earth itself roaring, “I bear you witness,” Mara disappeared. And, as the morning star rose in the sky, Siddhartha realized enlightenment and became a Buddha. Session Seven | Quintessential Buddha Dharma

Diamond Realm & Womb Realm Matrix World Mandala In Vajrayana Buddhism, the Diamond Realm is a metaphysical space inhabited by the Five Wisdom Buddhas. It is based on an esoteric Buddhist sutra called the Vajrasekhara Sutra. This Mandala includes the Womb Realm and thus is also known as the Mandala of the Two Realms. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is used to perform transmission—a way to offer blessings of a lineage to participants or as an empowerment to begin a particular meditation practice.

Kritigarbha (Earth Matrix) Although revered in East Asian Buddhism, he is a Bodhisattva Buddhist monk who is known for his vow to take responsibility for the instruction of all beings in the six worlds between the death of Buddha Shakyamuni and the rise of Buddha Maitreya. He holds a staff to force open the gates of hell, which hides the essence of Padmasambhava and a “wish-fulfilling jewel” to light up the darkness. The “wish-fulling jewel” is orb-like and is equivalent to the philosopher’s stone. It is referred to as a CINTAMANI. It is depicted as a luminous pearl. It was one of four relics that came in a chest that fell from the sky (a terma) during the reign of King LhaThothoriNyantsent (28th) of Tibet. These relics were the bringers of the Dharma to Tibet. Two mysterious strangers appeared before the king to explain the objects.

Mandarava Session Seven | Quintessential Buddha Dharma
NamkhaiNyingpo Exiled by King TrisongDetsen, he was among the first group of seven Tibetans who were ordained by Santaraksita. Santaraksita was the mahasiddhi who advised the King to invite Padmasambhava to Tibet to carry out activities he was not able to accomplish for the king. The pro-Bon ministers demanded his death; but, because he had cured the King of a previous illness, he did not. He along with YesheTsogyel, another consort of Padmasambhava and one of the King’s wives, concealed many of Padmasambhava’s teachings for later revelation. He was credited with concealing the biography of YesheTsogyel which was revealed in the 17th century. Session Seven | Quintessential Buddha Dharma
YesheTsogyel Having taught her the innermost Heart Point(Nying-t'ig) doctrine of Dzogchen, Padmasambhavaempowered YesheTsogyal, the princess of Kharchen, as his spiritual heir.
