Vajra of Shangle

[Shangle Diamond]

Shangle Diamond, clear, 51.5cm high. The old collection of the Qing Palace
This Buddha holds an elephant skin behind him to show his compassionate nature. Wearing a skull Buddha crown on the head, hanging a human head and a skull necklace on the neck, wearing a human head and a skull wreath at the waist, carrying a human head in the hand, holding a skull bowl, and using these horrible and bloody objects as the strict decoration is one of the image characteristics of Shangle Vajra, representing the overcoming of ignorance in the practice of micro yoga. The Buddha mother used to hug the Lord with a sword and a gabala bowl. Her legs twined around the waist of the Lord. Her expression seemed to be anger rather than anger. It was very vivid. The statue is made of bronze, the face is made of clay gold, the eyebrows and eyes are painted, and the crown and leaves are inlaid with turquoise, which shows the distinctive regional technological characteristics of the Tibetan statue. Shangle Vajra, also known as Shengle Vajra, is one of the most important masters of Tibetan secret. Its image is mostly a double-body angry figure. The master statue is surrounded by three eyes on each side and twelve arms. The main arm embraces his concubine Vajra Helm, holding the Vajra bell and pestle in the left and right hands, and the other arms are also holding magic weapons, with two feet, standing in a left bow stance, and stepping on the naked monster, which is its common manifestation.
