Thank you very much
On page 17 of the Practice the Five Buddha Families Inner Mandala mentions a gesture associated with each of the 5 families. I know some of them but do not know others. It would love to know what each mudra looks like.
Hi Catherine,
I needed to call on our authorized teacher Karla, to be sure to answer correctly. Here is her answer. Hope it is clarifying at least.
Isabelle
“Although this is in the Dakini Mandala text, it actually is more relevant to the Buddha Mandala practice. This are the Mudras associated with the 5 Buddhas in the masculine Mandala. We have never taught them with Dakini Mandala or WR Retreats. You can let her know that if she takes WR 2 retreat she will be introduced to them.
If she wants to imagine or take the stance of the Dakini in each family, she can imagine she is holding a hooked knife in her right hand with the Family’s symbol on the top, and a skull cup in her left. Katvangha in the crook of left arm. That would be akin to a Mudra.”
I’am so deeply touched by the teachings so far! Thank you Lama Tsultrim, Karla Jackson -Brewer and Isabelle Bayiley for your compassion and support!
Namo Svara Daki Ye!
