Namgyalma, also known as Ushnishavijaya, is one of the three principal deities of long life in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, alongside Amitayus and White Tara. She is said to have emanated from the crown protuberance (Ushnisha) of the Buddha, personifying the power of purification and the extension of life for the benefit of all sentient beings. Her practice is frequently undertaken to remove life-threatening obstacles and to deepen one's store of merit and wisdom through the recitation of her powerful dharani.
