Fire

The Female Buddha of the fire element is "Pandaravasini" in Sanskrit, and the Sanskrit seed syllable for this element is "RAM." The West is the place of the setting sun, the color of fire. The energy center it is related to is the throat chakra, the verbal aspect. In Vajrayana Buddhism, this is the Lotus Family, rooted in both the "luscious" texture of the swamp and the lusciousness of the unsullied blossom reaching into the sky. The passion connected with this energy is not just desire in terms of possession, but an insatiable desire for "exquisite experiences." The wisdom quality is the wisdom of appreciating the unique qualities of each thing.
