Question asked by snow
from the 6 Arm Mahakala Prayer (4th stanza)
On your crown you are adorned with five dry, jeweled skulls.
You come from your tree and accept our torma offering,
Glorious six-arm one, homage and praise to you!
Sternly protect the doctrine of the Buddha!
What is Mahakala doing in the tree?? I know it sounds like weird qns but really like toknow
Hi again,
I am not sure but it should be referring to his abode/dwelling place.There are many tree dwelling deities. There are also protectors who can emerge from under a lama’s throne or anywhere else. If I can find a definitive answer, will let you know.
