Tsadra Library Glossary Search/All Gloss Entries/Deity Mantra and Wisdom/Glossary + (yab yum;Male and Female Consorts;male and … yab yum;Male and Female Consorts;male and female consorts;In the Secret Mantra Vehicle, male and female deities are visualized as the embodiment of key Buddhist principles. Getse Mahāpaṇḍita explains, "Subjective appearances relate to the masculine principle of skillful means. In contrast, the object, emptiness, relates to knowledge, the feminine principle. The indivisible unity of these two is the great primordial union of everything." Discussing further, he writes, "Emptiness is seen based on appearance, while appearances arise unhindered from the expressive potential of emptiness, which itself manifests as causality. Since the truth of this is undeniable, the two truths are in union;they do not conflict with the principle of interdependent origination. You cannot attain the perfect result of nirvāṇa by utilizing just one of these while abandoning the other. Therefore, the way to bring this onto the path is to meditate on the male and female deities in union, symbolizing the indivisible union of skillful means and knowledge." [CG 50] of skillful means and knowledge." [CG 50])
