Four-Armed Mahakala Statue – The Fierce Protector of Dharma

This powerful Four-Armed Mahakala statue captures the dynamic wrath of enlightened compassion. Cast from solid copper and finished with a rich chocolate oxidation, this sacred figure is adorned with silver-plated ritual implements—his sword of wisdom, skull cup, and trident—each symbolizing his unrelenting force against ignorance and spiritual obstruction. The intensity of his form serves as both a protector and purifier, embodying the ultimate force that safeguards the path of awakening. Ideal for practitioners seeking strength, discipline, and focused transformation.

HISTORY

Mahakala, known as “The Great Black One,” is one of the most revered Dharma protectors in Tibetan Buddhism. Originating from the fierce compassion of Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig), Mahakala assumes a wrathful form to destroy delusion, attachment, and karmic hindrances. The Four-Armed Mahakala form is particularly important in Vajrayana practices, associated with the Karma Kagyu lineage, symbolizing his capacity to perform the four enlightened activities: pacifying, enriching, magnetizing, and subjugating.
