China/Tibet: Painting of Vajrayogini, c. 18th-19th century. Vajrayoginī (Sanskrit: Vajrayoginī; Tibetan: Dorje Naljorma, Wylie: Rdo rje rnal ’byor ma; Mongolian: Огторгуйд Одогч, Нархажид, Chinese: 瑜伽空行母 Yújiā kōngxíngmǔ) is the Vajra yoginī, literally 'the diamond female yogi'. She is a Highest Yoga Tantra Yidam (Skt. Iṣṭha-deva), and her practice includes methods for preventing ordinary death, intermediate state (bardo) and rebirth (by transforming them into paths to enlightenment), and for transforming all mundane daily experiences into higher spiritual paths.
