顶髻尊胜佛母简介
ABOUT NAMGYALMA
(USHNISHA VIJAYA)

The Namgyalma or Ushnisha Vijaya in Sanskrit, is one of the three revered Buddhas of longevity and purification. Depicted as white in colour (to symbolise the elimination of all misfortunes), seated, with three faces and eight arms, holding various symbolic implements in each of her hands, she appears with sheer grace and peace. Her right face manifests her great compassion for all beings and her left face signifies her skill at cutting through ignorance via wrathful means. She bestows wisdom beyond measure and supreme life.

尊胜佛母是释迦牟尼佛无上顶所化现的，为三面八臂相：正面及身是白色，微笑的佛母相，天心开佛眼，是无上智慧的本尊。 右面黄色，是观世音菩萨无量慈悲的示现. 左面蓝色，是金刚手菩萨忿怒降伏的示现。 尊胜佛母与观世音菩萨、金刚手菩萨三者合一，具足无上智慧、慈悲、忿怒降伏的圆满功德。 因为是如来无上顶的显化，所以是无上尊贵的，称为「佛顶尊胜佛母」。

顶髻尊胜佛母真言的功德与利益
Benefits of Namgyalma Mantra

If you recite this mantra twenty-one times, blow upon mustard seeds and throw them onto the bones of even extremely evil beings who have created many heavy negative karmas, those beings will immediately be liberated from the lower realms and be reborn in a higher realm, such as that of a deva. Throwing seeds blessed by the Namgyalma mantra onto the bones or body of a dead being purifies that being's consciousness, and even though that being may have been reborn in hell or any other lower realm, that being can be reborn in a deva realm.

If you put this mantra in a stupa or on a banner inside your house or above the roof, whoever is touched by even the shadow of that stupa or banner will not be reborn in the lower realms. Also, any being touched by a breeze that has first touched a stupa, banner or statue containing this mantra is purified of the karma to be reborn in the lower realms. What need is there to mention, therefore, how great the purification experienced by those who recite this mantra or keep it on their body.
