Amaravajra Devi 'Deathless Vajra Goddess' (Tibetan: chi me dor je lha mo) is a long-life deity arising from the Chakrasamvara cycle of Tantras. She is slightly wrathful, white in colour, with eight faces and sixteen hands. Amaravajra Devi also belongs to the set of 'Thirteen Golden Dharmas' of the Sakya tradition and included in the large compendium of deity practices 'Rinjung Gyatso' composed by Jonang Taranata. The lineage of Amaravajra is the same as for Armor Vajrasattva Chakrasamvara.
