Namgyalma (Ushnishavijaya in Sanskrit) is one of the three principal Long-Life Deities in Tibetan Buddhism, alongside Amitayus and White Tara. She is particularly associated with purifying negative karma, overcoming obstacles to long life, and removing suffering from all realms. Her mantra is widely recited for health, longevity, and to avert untimely death, symbolizing supreme victory over impermanence.
