Yab-yum

Yab-yum is sometimes used to describe a position in which a person sits in another person's lap facing each other. The first person is usually a male while the second person is a female. Yab-yum is a term in Tibetan Buddhism, and it represents the Goddess and God in a sacred union. It is seen as two energies coming together to create balance and enlightenment.

To a five-year-old, Yab-yum is a way that some people sit to represent balance and enlightenment. It's like when mommy and daddy hug and kiss and it makes them feel happy and complete. It's a special way of sitting that is important to some people who believe in Buddhism. It's like when you and your best friend hug and you feel really happy and loved, and that's what yab-yum is all about.
