The ultimate Dharma is the realization of the indivisibility of basic space and awareness. That is the starting point, and that is what is pointed out to begin with. It is essential to understand this; otherwise, Samantabhadra and his consort are an old blue man and woman who lived eons ago. It’s not like that at all! Samantabhadra and his consort are the indivisible unity of space and awareness.
~Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, from his book As It Is, Volume II

Chakrasamvara and Vajravarahi, Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, ca. 1575–1600, distemper on cotton, 71.1 x 61 cm, The Metropolitan Museum of Art. 
   “The twelve-armed Chakrasamvara embracing his consort, Vajravarahi, is a highly charged vision by an advanced master of tantric Buddhism. Potent color dynamics add tension to the picture. The blue figure of Chakrasamvara has additional heads in yellow, green, and red (symbolizing the colors of the Jina “Victor” Buddhas). With his principal hands he grasps Vajravarahi and holds a bell and a thunderbolt scepter. Chakrasamvara’s iconography closely resembles that of Shiva (both have three eyes and hold a skull cup, trident, and elephant skin); such concordance of Buddhist and Hindu iconography has its origins in the tantrism of medieval eastern India. Here Chakrasamvara and Vajravarahi trample a blue Bhairava and a red Kalartri, showing their dominance over these Hindu gods.”

"Yab Yum" started out as an experimental and atmospheric psych folk side project from Blasting Rod. It's evolved (devolved?) into a minimal, and loose, rock'n'roll duo road testing ideas for Blasting Rod.
.
For this show I borrowed a @fender amp from @tsukienko and used only one pedal, a @jhspedals Foot fuzz, turned on for all but one number, with a true-bypass @tcelectronic tuner. These two pedals both fit easily into the @epiphone Casino hard case, along with the cables for this small stage area, and there was still room for two of each Blasting Rod CD. Only the Fender's "Vintage" channel was used. All finger picking.
.
Chihiro brought her snare and kick, as usual, but none of her own cymbals, and played with multi-rods. For her, multi-rods are a one-show disposable item because she's usually destroyed them by the end of the set, if not song, trying to get her usual stick tone, but it does mellow out the sound for a small venue like this. She also opened a pop-up for her apparel line, Chee's Trick.
.
All of the other stuff "on stage" was for a really fantastic sounding reggae band from Toyohashi called Jamming-U, the headliner.

Yab-Yum. Illustration by Carmen Mensink.
Yab Yum means Father Mother Deities visualized in consort union are Yab Yum. Yab means literally “father” and Yum means literally “mother.” This gives a sense of the concept of YabYum as a higher emanation of Buddhas — it’s the highest of visualized practice, Highest Yoga Tantra — because it is a complete visualization combining the Enlighted Compassion and Wisdom as Father and Mother, not just one, or the other.
May our bodies and minds be healthy. May our thoughts be filled with love. May our practice be free of obstacles. May we carry its benefits into the world.

Vajarasattva symbolizes the purification of deluded perceptions that obscure enlightened mind. Vajarasattva holds in front of his heart a vajra, representing the minds enlightened essence and against his thigh, a bell representing insight into the empty nature of reality.

Yab Yum Chakrasamvara Heruka (Father) in YabYum union with Vajrayogini (Mother) symbolizes the union of compassion and wisdom. Photo gorgeous thangka created by magnificent artist Laura Santi Yab Yum means Father Mother Deities visualized in consort union are Yab Yum. Yab means literally “father” and Yum means literally “mother.” This gives a sense of the concept of YabYum as a higher emanation of Buddhas — it’s the highest of visualized practice, Highest Yoga Tantra — because it is a complete visualization combining the Enlighted Compassion and Wisdom as Father and Mother, not just one, or the other.
