Yama Dharmaraja (Kalarupa) :: gud

Object description

Yama Dharmaraja (även Kalarupa [sanskrit], Shin Je, Shinje, Choegyal, Cho Gyal, Gshin.rje, གཤིན་རྗེ་ [Tibet]) är den norra Buddhismens version av dödsguden Yama. Liksom Yamantaka (även Vajrabhairava) är Yama Dharmaraja en kraftfull och vredesfylld porträttering av Bodhisattva Manjushri men räknas som en dharmapala (skyddare av dharma), dvs en typ av "vredesgud" (wrathful deity) som ska skydda buddhismen. Yama Dharmaraja avbildas ofta stående på en tjur/vattenbuffel som i sin tur krossar en människa.

Beskrivning - engelska

Yama Dharmaraja is a Tantric Buddhist - wisdom deity - protector of the Method Class (father) of Anuttaryoga Tantra specifically used by those engaged in the practices of the Vajrabhairava Tantra. Both Vajrabhairava and Yama Dharmaraja are wrathful emanations of Manjushri - a bodhisattva in Mahayana literature but a tantric deity equal to a Buddha in Vajrayana Buddhism.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
