(Chn. 金母 Jinmu); The Golden Mother of the Primordial Pond (Chn. 瑤池金母 Yaochi Jinmu; 瑤池金母大天尊 Yaochi Jinmu Datianzun); The Golden Mother of the Primordial Pond, the Sovereign Queen of the West (Chn. 南摩無極瑤池西王大聖金母大天尊 Namo Wuji Yaochi Xiwang Dasheng Jinmu Datianzun): This Daoist deity is the primary personal deity of Living Buddha Lian Sheng and a key yidam in True Buddha School. Living Buddha Lian Sheng states, “Without the Golden Mother, there would not be the True Buddha School.” Her attainment is equivalent to that of a buddha, and her pureland is called the Fairyland at the Primordial Pond, above Mount Kunlun. She is highly revered as one of the most responsive deities in Daoism, with close affinity with sentient beings in the saha world. She opened the third eye of Living Buddha Lian Sheng when he was 26 and guided him to embark on the spiritual cultivation path. Tiger-Head Vajra, and Golden Mother with Innumerable Hands and Infinite Eyes are emanations of the Golden Mother.
