In Vajrayana Buddhism, Yamantaka, also called Vajrabhairava, is a furious incarnation of Manjushri, signifying the victory over death and the conversion of wrath into wisdom. He is portrayed as having many heads, arms, and legs, and frequently taking on the fearsome, bull-headed appearance of a bull. He represents the ability to pacify evil forces and defend the Dharma. His sophisticated techniques include intricate rituals and visions meant to help one overcome challenges and reach nirvana. In the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, where his tantra is a central practice, Yamantaka is very important.
