Palden Lhamo is the wrathful form of the female Buddha Saraswati and is also considered to be the wrathful and protective manifestation of Tara. This practice was brought from India to Tibet in the eighth century, where Palden Lhamo is now considered to be one of the main protectors of the dharma practitioners.
Panchen Zangpo Tashi, a previous reincarnation of Lama Gangchen and second abbot of Tashi Lumpo Monastery, had a very special relationship with Palden Lhamo. Palden Lhamo helps to transform our fear of death and of the negative actions we have carried out and to realise the supreme female wisdom.
