Prajnaparamita

The Female Buddha

She is Goddess of Transcendental Wisdom, similar to Tara. Her grace embodies the feminine aspect of the supreme Buddha.

This image of Prajnaparamita may be an idealized portrait of a 13th century Javanese dynastic queen. The material wealth of her jewelry and clothing heightens the contrast with her profoundly spiritual posture.
