Yamataka (imaged above), or Vajrabhairava, is a wrathful manifestation of the buddha of wisdom, Manjushri. (Tibetan Buddhsim)
As the story goes, Manjushri was chilling out on a lotus with his gin and juice, laid back- with his mind on his money and his money on his mind. You know how it is. As buddhas are sometimes known to do, he decided to up and have himself an adventure. He grabbed his flaming sword (that he uses to destroy all dualistic thinking), jumped into his pimp ride and cruised over to Yama's house (the god of death). Manjushri got super pissed that Yama said something about his mother and so he transformed into Yama's form and multiplied himself a million times, scaring the god of death ... to death. Then he poured out an ounce for the homies and split.
Manjushri, in his more chilled out form, is the kind of person to put a flaming sword to the Lord Buddha's neck to prove a point. Don't worry children, Lord Buddha don't sweat nothing.
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.
