('Conquerer of death' resp. of Yama, the god of death). An extremly wrathful emanation of Manjushri with 9 heads, 32 arms and 16 legs. As a protector deity and yidam he helps to overcome all fears of death, because even death is an illusion. Hereby he is driven by the motivation of compassion and sympathy with all suffering beings (Mahakaruna). His short mantra is OM YAMANTAKA HUNG PHET (seed syllables: HUNG and DHI) |
