The Path to Supreme Enlightenment

Paramasukha Chakrasamvara is one of the important tantric meditational deities. He is an emanation of Akshobhya Buddha, as is Hevajra. He is also sometimes called a form of Hevajra. Thus he belongs to the Heruka family of theanuttara yoga tantra. Following his meditational path will lead the practitioner to the bliss of supreme enlightenment. The supreme bliss wheel integration tantra is considered the ultimate mother tantra, in that its literature has the most developed technology of contemplative cultivation of the clear light of freedom (shunyata-prabhasvara) . There is a legend that the Buddha emanated the mandala-palace and adopted this archetype deity form to teach the tantra to Shiva and Parvati on top of Mount Kailash at the headwaters of the Ganga in southern Tibet.

Chakrasamvara is shown here in a terrific embrace with his consort Vajravarahi, symbolizing the blissful union of compassion and wisdom that is actually enlightenment. He stands in alidha posture of outstretched legs on the prostrate forms of Bhairava and Kalaratri. He is blue in colour. He is twelve armed, symbolizing twelve links of dependant origination. With the two principal arms, in vajra-humkara-mudra he carries the vajra and vajra-tipped bell, and embraces his consort. With the second pair he stretches an elephant skin. In the remaining four right hands he holds the vajra axe, vajra-chopper and the trident. The four left hands show the cranium-cup full of blood, noose, severed head of Brahma and vajra-tipped khatvanga.

His hair is upswept in knots with decoration on it. He wears Heruka ornaments consisting of earrings, necklace and bracelets; scarves and a tiger-skin skirt; a skull crown with jewel; crescent on top of the head, and garland of a fresh human heads.

His prajna (consort) has one face and two arms. She is sky-clad with disheveled hair because she has set free from the illusions that hide the essence of things. Both her legs are wrapped around his waist. She holds a vajra-marked chopper in her right hand and her left hand is behind his neck. She is adorned with gold and bone ornaments – skull crown, gold earrings, armlets, bracelet, bone girdle, and garland of human skulls.
