Description of Simhamukha

Simhamukha is perhaps the most supremely wrathful wisdom Dakini (female spirit or demon in Hinduism and Buddhism) who is capable of fixing all negative vibes, curses, barriers, or malicious intent. She is usually portrayed as a dark blue or maroon-colored lion-faced female and is related to the direction East. Simhamukha is a manifestation of the Buddha’s enlightened awareness, and despite her wrathful look and her magical tricks, her nature is compassion. She is one of the many forms of Padmasambhava in the Nyingma ‘Treasure’ tradition, specifically as a ‘secret’ form of Guru Rinpoche within the system of outer, inner, and secret manifestations.

Buddhist Gods main description

Buddhist Gods The Buddhist pantheon comprises hundreds of Gods and Goddesses. They are intended to illustrate the multiple aspects of enlightenment, including its wrathful and furious sides, as well as its peaceful and beneficial aspects. In Mahayana Buddhism, gods, goddesses, and other spiritual beings play a much bigger role than in Theravada Buddhism. They symbolize the energies, forces, and entities that surround and fill human life. They also mirror the human spirit's deeper depths, reflecting attributes that can be awakened through spiritual practice. Voluptuous tree spirits, maternal nurturers, elevated knowledge figures, benevolent healers, potent protectors, cosmic mothers of liberation, and dancing female Buddhas are all part of the pantheon. Childbirth, agriculture, fortune, longevity, art, music, knowledge, love, magic, and occult rituals are all overseen by gods, goddesses, and other spiritual beings. Some of them protect against diseases, snakebites, demons, curses, untimely death, and all other fatal dangers. There are also gods, goddesses, and other spiritual beings that aid practitioners in their quest for knowledge, mental cleansing, higher rebirth, and complete spiritual enlightenment.
