Six-Armed Mahakala

Six-Armed Mahakala, known as Sadbhuja Mahakala in Sanskrit, is a wrathful emanation of Avalokiteshvara and is revered across Tibetan Buddhism as a powerful Dharmapala who protects the teachings and swiftly removes obstacles on the spiritual path. His fierce appearance, with a midnight blue body and blazing hair, symbolizes the changeless nature of Dharmakaya and the intensity of enlightened compassion. He has three eyes that represent his awareness of past, present, and future, and he wears a crown of five skulls that signify the transformation of the five poisons, anger, desire, ignorance, jealousy, and pride into the five wisdoms. His six arms hold symbolic implements such as a curved knife to cut ego, a skull cup to subdue evil, a rosary to represent continuous activity, a damaru drum to command dakinis, a trident to conquer the three realms, and a lasso to bind those who stray from the Dharma.
