The purified essence of fire is the female Buddha Pandaravasini (Go Karmo) who represents the wisdom of discriminating awareness. Meditate that the bindu of red light in the shape of a triangle is inseparable from your mind. 5. The essence of fire next dissolves into the essence of wind (air) which is a green semicircle with the straight side up. The purified essence of air is the female Buddha Samaya Tara (Damtsik Drolma) who represents all-accomplishing wisdom. 6. The essence of air now dissolves into the essence of space which is a blue circle. The purified essence of space is the female Buddha Vajradhatesvari (Yingchokma) who represents Dharmadhatu wisdom. 7.
