内容:

Simhamukha, Dakini (Tibetan: seng ge dong chen kha dro ma, English: Lion Faced Dakini) and a retinue of four deities.At the bottom center is the wrathful worldly protector Tshangpa Karpo, white, with one face and two hands. In the right hand he holds aloft a spear with a red banner and in the left, held to the heart, a flat bowl of jewels. Adorned with a bow and quiver of arrows in a leopard skin pouch, wearing lavish garments and a round white hat, he rides atop a white horse surrounded by flames. He was subjugated and bound as a protector by Guru Padmasambhava."Arising from the state of the dharmadhatu, Mother of all conquerors, Queen of all the countless dakinis; With magic powers smashing to dust hindrances and enemies. Homage to Simhamukha." (Nyingma liturgical verse).Within the Nyingma School, of the two divisions of Kama (Oral Teachings) and Terma (Revealed Treasures), Simhamukha belongs to the Terma. From the three general divisions of Terma: Root, Branch and Essence, Simhamukha belongs to the Dakini Cycle within the Root Terma class. Generally she is regarded as the secret form of Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava. In the Sarma Tradition the deity Simhamukha is found in the Chakrasamvara Cycle of Tantras and although similar in name and appearance is unrelated.The bright combinations of colour and the unusual swirl design of the clouds betray a Nepali or Western Tibetan painting influence. The stylized faces of the lions are of Chinese origin.Jeff Watt 6-98
