BHUTADAMARA — THE “TAMER OF SPIRITS”
Bhutadamara (Tib. འབུད་འདམ་བར།) means “Subduer of Spirits” or “Demon Tamer.”
In the Vajrayana tradition, this fierce form of Vajrapani manifests not out of aggression but out of fierce compassion — the enlightened force that cuts through ignorance, pacifies obstructive energies, and liberates beings from confusion. This form originates from the Bhutadamara Tantra.
Key Characteristics of the Bhutadamara Form
-
Wrathful expression symbolizing compassionate anger that destroys delusion
-
Blue vajra-body (represented here in sculptural form), symbolizing indestructible wisdom and the transformation of anger into clarity
-
Bone ornaments, skull garlands, tiger skin, showing mastery over ego and fear
-
Right hand raised with vajra, annihilating ignorance
-
Left hand holding a lasso, binding harmful forces and inner obstacles
-
Encircled by flames (shown in sculptural motifs), representing purification and the fire of wisdom
-
Trampling subjugated spirits, symbolizing victory over karmic and psychological demons
The Ālīḍāsana Posture
Bhutadamara stands in the dynamic, combat-ready posture known as Ālīḍāsana — one leg bent forward, the other extended back like drawing a bow.
This posture symbolizes:
Readiness
Alert, focused awareness
Fierce engagement with suffering
Unstoppable enlightened power
