A wonderful statue of 10″ MAHANKALA Antique Statue (Half gold plated)

Mahakala is a Dharmapala “Protector of the Dharma”. The Six-Armed Black Mahakala as shown here, is favoured by the Gelug order of Tibetan Buddhism, and in this manifestation is considered to be a fierce and powerful emanation of Avalokitesvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion.

Mahakala is characteristically depicted with a wrathful look, pot-bellied, bedecked with serpents which stand for the purification of anger. He wears a garland of severed heads and a crown of five skulls representing the five poisons of delusions, namely, lust, hatred, ignorance, pride and jealousy transformed into the wisdom of five Buddhas. Mahakala has three eyes symbolizing his clear comprehension of three times; past, present and future. He stands against a background of blazing fire which symbolizes his ability to consume neurotic states.

Mahakala’s six arms symbolize the attainment of the six Perfections: generosity, patience, morality, diligence, meditation and wisdom.
