本页列出大轮金刚手菩萨造像.

Mahachakra (Tibetan: chag na dor je, kor lo chen po. English: The Great Wheel Vajra Holder). Mahachakra is a Tantric form of the bodhisattva Vajrapani appearing as a meditational deity - regarded as completely enlightened. Just as there are many forms of Vajrapani, so also are there many varieties of Mahachakra both with consort and without, with retinue figures or solitary.

Description: (from the Mitra Gyatsa) “…above a lotus and sun seat, Brahma and Indra, is Vajrapani with a blue cape, three faces and six hands (三面六臂). The right [face] is white, left red, each with three eyes. With six hands, the first two hold a vajra and a wrathful gesture upraised. The middle two are folded respectfully embracing the consort…possessed of beauty, blue [in colour], holding a curved knife and skullcup. The lower two grasp a snake, at the [level of the] waist, as food. The right leg is bent, left straight.” (Description: rgyud sde kun btus, vol.23, folio 215).

金刚手菩萨

大轮金刚手造像通常为三面六臂二足，上面右手持金刚杵，左手结怒斥邪恶印，中间双手怒击掌，掌声轰鸣之声，天地为之颤动，下面双手握着毒蛇，口中衔咬着毒蛇的身体，象征镇伏毒龙。面如罗刹般极其狰狞恐怖。血盆之口大张，三目圆睁怒视，雪白的巨齿犹如剑峰排列。八龙五色蛇作为装饰。身披蓝绫，腰系虎皮裙，拥抱着明妃，显现出大乐之相。
