Lama Govinda
tells us that Amoghasiddhi represents ". . . the mysterious activity of
spiritual forces, which work removed from the senses, invisible and
imperceptible, with the aim of guiding the individual (or, more properly: all
living beings) towards the maturity of knowledge and liberation. The yellow
light of an (inner) sun invisible to human eyes . . . (in which the
unfathomable space of the universe seems to open itself) for the serene
mystic green of Amoghasiddhi. . . . On the elementary plane this all-
pervading power corresponds to the element of air - the principle of
movement and extension, of life and breath (prana)." Lama Govinda:
Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism. Lodon: E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc., 1959, p.120.
The fifth day of the Bardo Thodol confronts the deceased with the Bhagavan Buddha Amoghasiddhi, Almighty Conqueror, from the green Northern realm of Successful Performance of Best Actions, attended by a Divine Mother, and two Bodhisattvas representing the mental functions of "equilibrium, immutability, and almighty power" and "clearer of obscurations." |
