The five buddha families present us with a complete picture of both the sacred world of enlightened mind and the neurotic world of ego-centered existence.
"Vajra is associated with anger, which is transmuted into mirrorlike wisdom. In the cloudiness, possessiveness and aggression of anger, there are qualities of brilliance, lucidity, great energy. Seeing these qualities clearly in the vajra yidam, the essence of anger is spontaneously transmuted into openness and precision. Transmutation is not performed deliberately but automatically follows upon clear insight.
Vajra is associated with the element of water. Cloudy, turbulent water symbolizes the defensive and aggressive nature of anger. Clear water suggests the sharp, precise, clear reflectiveness of mirrorlike wisdom. The color white*, also associated with vajra, expresses both the all-pervading ice storm of anger and the brilliant reflectiveness of mirrorlike wisdom. Vajra's direction is the east, which is connected with the dispassionate clarity of dawn. The symbol of the vajra family is the vajra (Tibetan.: Dorje), the thunderbolt scepter which betokens indestructibility and precision."

This creation, empowered by the force of the Tiger, is also a pledge for nature protection and restoration.
How can "clarity" support us to take action in the most appropriate way?

* Caroline prefers to associate the color blue to the Vajra family and the white to the Buddha family, as in most Tibetan Buddhist lineages.
