In Vajrayana Buddhism, Simhamukha is a wrathful female deity, particularly in the Nyingma and Sakya traditions. In Tibetan, she is also known as Senge Dongchenma, which translates as "Lion-faced Dakini."Simhamukha is usually depicted as a fierce and powerful goddess with a lion's face, a woman's body, and wings. In her right hand, she holds a vajra-handled mirror, and in her left, a curved knife. She is dressed in a garland of severed heads and a skirt made of human skin, both of which represent victory over the ego and the ultimate realization of emptiness.Simhamukha is associated with the purification of negative energies and obstacles, the removal of ignorance and delusion, and the attainment of wisdom and compassion in Tibetan Buddhist practice. Her practice entails visualizing her form and reciting her mantra, which is said to have the power to dispel negativity and protect practitioners.Simhamukha is also revered as a Dharma protector and a guide for those seeking to overcome obstacles to spiritual progress. Her fierce and wrathful form is thought to represent the fierce energy required to overcome the obstacles to realization, and her wisdom and compassion are said to be limitless.
