专家说明

Hevajra, the primary meditational deity of the Anuttarayoga tantra, is here in embrace with Nairatmya, known as the "selfless one." Both deities originate from the Hevajra and Samputa tantras, important early texts of Vajrayana Buddhism, and were popular in the Sakya order. Both terrific in appearance and attributes, the two make one of the most complex pairs in Buddhist tantric imagery.
