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 is from the Bhutadamara Tantra.
Key Characteristics of the Bhutadamara Form
-
Wrathful expression symbolizing compassionate anger that destroys delusion
-
Blue vajra-body, representing indestructible wisdom and the transformation of anger into clarity
-
Bone ornaments, skull garlands, and tiger skin, signifying 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, 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. The body itself becomes a visual embodiment of courage and protection.
This posture symbolizes:
Readiness
Alert, focused awareness
Fierce engagement with suffering
Unstoppable enlightened power
In the Dzokden community, the form of Vajrapani we practice is Bhutadamara according to the Jonang tantric lineage connected with Lama Lobsang Trinley, the root guru of Khentrul Rinpoche.
If you want to do this practice according to the text, then please receive the empowerment. We can not give out this restricted text to those who are not authorized even if you purchase the statue.
Lama Lobsang Trinley, widely regarded as an emanation of Vajrapani, transmitted this practice as a powerful method for:
Removing obstacles
Dispelling disturbances
Subduing harmful forces
Strengthening Dharma activity
Transforming anger into bodhisattva courage
Vajrapani embodies the power of all Buddhas — the enlightened energy that shatters confusion and inspires heroic determination on the path. His practice is ideal for practitioners who want to:
Transform anger into fearless, compassionate courage
Clear inner and outer obstacles
Overcome fear, hesitation, and energetic disturbances
Cultivate confidence, vitality, and determination
Transforming Anger Into Wisdom Power
Bhutadamara is one of the most effective Vajrayana methods for transmuting raw anger into mirror-like wisdom, turning emotional turbulence into unstoppable bodhisattva courage.
Connection to the Shambhala Dharma Kings
Vajrapani’s heroic power resonates deeply with the spirit of the Shambhala Dharma King Suchandra who requested Buddha Shakyamuni to transmit the Kalachakra Tantra — fierce, fearless, kingly wisdom applied for the benefit of all beings.
Blessings of Lama Lobsang Trinley
As an emanation of Vajrapani, Lama Lobsang Trinley’s compassionate wrath and protective energy infuse this practice and this statue with profound lineage blessings.
