Yama, often referred to as Yamraj or the Lord of Death, is a significant Dharma Protector in Tibetan Buddhism. He is a fierce manifestation of Manjushri, the Buddha of Wisdom. His role is to guard the dharma, eradicate obstacles to spiritual practice, and guide beings through the bardo (intermediate state) after death. Despite his wrathful appearance, he embodies unwavering compassion and serves to inspire practitioners to overcome fear and cultivate virtue.
