Tibet Guge 08 Tsaparang 03 Yamantaka Temple Guhysamaja-Manjuvajra [28 of 45]
On the left wall in yab-yum with his consort Sparshavajra are three paintings of the three-faced six-armed Guhyasamaja, Guhyasamaja-Manjuvajra and Guhyasamaja-Akshobyavajra, associated with the Buddha Akshobhya, and the most ancient and fundamental Tantra of Vajrayana tradition of Buddhism. Here is Guhyasamaja-Manjuvajra with his two central hands crossed near the centre of his body, his right hands holding a sword and arrow, and his left holding a lotus and bow. Sparshavajra’s two main hands circle Guhyasamaja- Manjuvajra, while her other hands mirror his. Photo: Weyer/Aschoff: Tsaparang, Tibets Grosses Geheimnis
