The Three Supreme Deities Merit Puja
Vajrasattva, Tara and Ushnisha Vijaya
From a Sadhana of Venerable Tara Called Udamvara Flower:
A subsection of the Three Special Deities
from Master Marpa the Translator
The Three Supremes overcome the three great obstacles. Vajrasattva purifies our Ignorance with Wisdom. Tara purifies the Poisons with Compassionate Method and Activity. The supreme realizations of Ushnisha Vijaya overcomes Death itself through life-affirming practices. Together, they are the Three Supremes as taught by Marpa Lotsawa. They symbolize the Three Jewels, the three aspects of practice, which are wisdom, compassionate method and activity; and also overcoming the three major obstacles of ignorance, suffering, and death.
The cycle of teachings from Marpa on the Three Special Deities includes separate practices for each of the three, but all sadhanas start with the merit practice and praise to all Three Special Deities.
