Akashagarbha

(Tibetan: Namkhai Nyingpo) Matrix of the Sky or Womb-of-Space
Akashagarbha is the principal Bodhisattva of the Jewel family. He is associated with the Eastern wisdom through the dawning of light from that direction. He wears a white robe and holds a lotus with a large sword shedding that light in his left hand. He is known for his generosity and meritorious acts. As Namkhai Nyingpo, Akashagarbha appears as a female deity.

Was the Sword of Akasha referring to Akashagarbha?

i as more thinking this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akasha

Akasha (or Akash, Ākāśa, आकाश) is the Sanskrit word meaning "aether" in both its elemental and mythological senses. In Hinduism Akasha means the basis and essence of all things. The source of everything that exists. One of the Panchamahabhuta, or "five great elements"; its main characteristic is Shabda (sound). In Hindi the meaning of Akash is sky.


but i guess it can mean akashagarbha's sword ? now that i read your post carefully hmmmm

>_> Why am I hoping that when Charles said "sword", it's not a -real- sword?

I wouldn't put it past them to do that XD
