Dorje Phurba; Vajrakilaya; རྡོ་རྗེ་ཕུར་པ; 金刚普巴
Vajrakilaya is also known as Heruka (Tibetan: dor je phur ba, trag tung; English: Vajra Peg, Blood Drinker), is recognized as Vajra Kumara (Vajra Youth). He is considered the activity deity among the Eight Herukas (Tibetan: ka gye) within the Mahayoga Tantras of the Nyingma School and serves as a principal meditational deity. A distinctive feature of Vajrakila's iconography is the three-sided peg, which he holds pointed downward with his two primary hands positioned at his heart.
The Kama tradition of Vajrakilaya has been primarily passed down through the Khon family lineage, which later evolved into what is known as the Sakya Tradition in the 11th century. Vajrakilaya, the wrathful form of Vajrasattva, is the yidam deity that embodies the awakened activity of all Buddhas. His practice is renowned for being the most powerful in removing obstacles, destroying hostile forces to compassion, and purifying the prevalent spiritual pollution in this age.
The Natural Pigment Painting measures 25 inches X 18 inches with an additional silk Thangka bordering it.
