Female Deities: List of female Buddhas and Bodhisattvas

Tseringma

Dharma protector - goddess of the mountain

Tseringma is the foremost of the Five Long-Life Deities - formerly mountain-guardian spirits - who plagued the great Tibetan yogi Milarepa during his cave retreats. They were converted to Buddhism and Tseringma became his consort.

She is a white figure shown riding a snow lion and carrying a long-life vase in her right hand.
