SKT. Hevajra(हेवज्र) | TIB. kye rdo rje(ཀྱེ་རྡོ་རྗེ) | CH. 喜金剛 | VIET. Hỷ Kim Cang

Hevajra is a deity in Vajrayana Buddhism, particularly in the highest yoga tantra practices of Tibetan Buddhism's Sarma schools. Hevajra is regarded as a wrathful deity, a symbol of the fierce energy of wisdom capable of piercing delusion and ignorance. He is frequently depicted with a blue-black complexion, four heads, and twelve arms in a yab-yum (father-mother) embrace with his consort Nairatmya. Hevajra is known for his ability to transform negative emotions into wisdom, and his practice is said to aid practitioners on their path to enlightenment.
