Description:
The six armed Mahakal is the main protector of the Shangpa lineage. All the Mahakalas are a manifestation of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. Avalokiteshvara is peaceful but when the sentient cannot tame the situation then the Buddha manifests in a wrathful form.  Buddha’s manifestation is not limited. Buddha does not always smile. There is smiling Buddha, there is frowning Buddha and there is Buddha blazing with fire. Mahakala is the blazing Buddha. And this is to help us, to protect us from our own defilements, to help all sentient beings from all obstacles.
We all have a little demon inside us, and Mahakala is to burn that demon, to destroy that demon, and to tame that demon to become a good and kind bodhisattva.
