Yab-Yum represents the primordial, mystical union of wisdom and compassion. The masculine form is active, representing the compassion and skillful means (upaya) that have to be developed in order to reach enlightenment. The feminine form is passive and represents wisdom (prajna), which is also necessary for enlightenment. The figures symbolize the union necessary to overcome the veils of Maya, the false duality of object and subject.
