Mahakala Bernagchen, also known as the "Great Black-Cloaked One," is a powerful protector deity in Tibetan Buddhism, particularly revered in the Karma Kagyu tradition. He is considered a wrathful emanation of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, manifesting in fierce form to eliminate obstacles and protect the Dharma. Despite his terrifying appearance, Mahakala Bernagchen embodies the enlightened qualities of compassion and wisdom, acting as a fierce guardian for practitioners on the path to liberation. His black cloak symbolizes the vastness and depth of his power to absorb negativity and destroy inner and outer hindrances.
