She has many countless manifestations and also countable ones. Countable manifestations include at the inner levl (5 and 8) and expansive level with as many as 360. And then at the middle level 21 Chammas, and at the inner level mostly Eight Chammas, Protector from eight crises, (Chamma Jikpa Gye Kyop Ma.) At the inner most level is Chamma Kunga, and the 5 manifestations of the Body of Chamma.
All Bön deities come from Chamma, she is the compassionate and wise mother of all. Chamma is the feminine counterpart to Shenlha Wodkar. Her body is also "dzo ku," the body of perfection. Chamma is available to everyone for comfort, guidance and healing as she has the power to dispel all obstacles such as fear, sickness, sadness or negative impact of demonic forces. She is thereby able to prolong life. Chamma holds a mirror in her left hand. This mirror represents the purity of Chamma heart as reflected in a perfect understanding of the karma and suffering of all beings. The vase in her right hand contains the essence of the potential hopes, dreams and accomplishments of all who are committed to Chamma. Her throne is supported, like Shenlha Wodkar, by two snow lions representing her supremacy over all life.
By Her blessing and outpouring of energies, She eliminates all Karmic obstacles. She heals, blesses and guides us when we are sick for she has a quality that can fulfill our wishes. Through our reciting her secret mantra and prayers, She will expand our life and clear up negative Karma, bringing peace and harmony to places in the home.
