Vajravarahi Simhamukha 

Old Bronze Buddha Statue

This Statue is a rare Bronze & Copper rendition of a Tibeian 

deity Simhamukha. She wears a crown adorned with five skulls 

and has the head of a lion. She is naked and wears a necklace 

of 50 human skulls. She has one face and two arms, carrying a 

kartika in her right hand and a skull cup in her left hand while 

holding a khatvanga on her shoulder. Her right leg is bent while 

her left leg is extended outward stamping on a corpse atop a sun disc.

The Lion-faced Dakini, Simhamukha in Sanskrit, is venerated by all 

four schools of Tibetan Buddhism. She is one of the three principal 

dharma protectors of the Nyingma sect and the primary protector. 

The other two protectors are Ekajati and Rahula. Besides being the 

primary protector of the Nyingma sect, Simhamukha is just about the 

foremost dakini of all the dakinis and has vowed to be the primary 

dharma protector of the True Buddha School!

Because Simhamukha is the guru of Padmasambhava as well as his 

personal deity and dharma protector, her power is infinite. Simhamukha's 

dharma body is Mahaprajnaparamita Buddha Mother. Simhamukha's bliss

 body is Dorje Phagmo, namely Vajravarahi. Simhamukha is the emanation 

body. She is thus the integration of Mahaprajnaparamita Buddha Mother, 

Vajravarahi, and Simhamukha. One may therefore say that Simhamukha 

is the foremost Buddha Mother and the preeminent Tara.

Her dharma power is the greatest!
