Ten glorious ornaments
The ten glorious ornaments (Tib. དཔལ་གྱི་ཆས་བཅུ།, Wyl. dpal gyi chas bcu) are:
- the eight charnel ground ornaments,
- the blazing fire of wisdom (Tib. ཡེ་ཤེས་ཀྱི་མེ་དཔུང།, Wyl. ye shes kyi me dpung), and
- vajra wings (Tib. རྡོ་རྗེའི་གཤོག་པ།, Wyl. rdo rje’i gshog pa).[1]
The blazing fire of wisdom consumes demons and disturbing emotions, and the vajra wings of a garuda symbolize the union of method and wisdom.[2]
According to another system, there is also an alternative listing of eight glorious ornaments.
