In Tibetan, "Yab-Yum" means "father-mother" and denotes the original combination of method and wisdom, emptiness and bliss, as a means of achieving enlightenment. In Vajrayana Buddhism, Vajrasattva is worshipped as the embodiment of the Buddha's mind and the goddess of purification. The image of Vajrasattva united with his bride is a striking representation of the possibility of spiritual development by the unification of all facets of our existence. The Yab-Yum Vajrasattva Statue profoundly reminds us of the path to ultimate purity and the enlightenment accessible to all beings. It captures this unity beautifully.
