He belongs to the highest class of tantras and is particularly revered in the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. Yamantaka’s fierce form is not an expression of anger but a powerful symbol of his ability to overcome and transform death, ignorance, and suffering, leading practitioners towards ultimate realization and the defeat of personal delusions.
