The Four-Armed Mahākāla: Embodiment of the Four Karmas
Mahākāla, known as the Great Black One, is a fierce aspect of Avalokiteshvara and is widely recognized as a Dharmapala, or Protector of the Dharma, in all Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Often simply called "the Lord," he is portrayed in texts as a dark and formidable deity, referred to as the "demon who steals the vital essence of people." His dark nature reflects the terrifying beings in his entourage.
In the Daikoku Tenjin-hō, Mahākāla is represented as a form of Maheśvara (Śiva), who is said to dwell near Ujjayinī and wander the forest at night accompanied by a legion of demons that consume flesh and blood. A commentary by the Shingon priest Ejū states, “He is Daijizaiten [Maheśvara], who delights in blood and flesh.” However, this disturbing characteristic takes on a spiritual aspect, as it is revealed that Mahākāla consumes only those who have transgressed against the Three Jewels.
