Video:White Vajravarahi

White Vajravarahi is a wisdom deity belonging to the lineage of Shakya Shribhadra. She is peaceful in appearance, white in colour, with two faces and two hands, the right holding a curved knife upraised and the left a skullcup to the heart. She stands in a dancing posture with one leg raised.

(The portrait painting of Buddhashri has a very small image of White Vajravarahi at the bottom center of the composition.
