Cakravamsara 勝樂金剛



勝樂金剛(梵文名 Cakravamsara,藏文名為「登巧」,蒙古語稱「德穆欽格」),又稱上樂金剛,藏傳佛教無上瑜伽修法中尊奉的五大本尊之一,是赫魯嘎明王的一種。
有四個頭,前方中間者為藍色,左面白色,右面紅色,後面黃色,相應代表增益、息災、敬愛、降伏四種功德。每塊面上有三隻眼,代表觀照過去、現在和未來三世。戴五人頭骨冠,表示無常和勇武。頭上有半月,代表人的幸福。頭頂有雙金剛,代表方法與智慧雙成。腰圍虎皮,象徵勇猛和無畏。頸上掛五十塊人骨串成的念珠,代表佛教全部經典。有十二隻手,象徵克服十二緣起的方法。主臂左手持金剛鈴,右手持金剛杵,兩手同時抱明妃。其餘各手伸向兩側,手中持斧、月形刀、三股戟、骷髏杖(天杖)、金剛索、金剛鉤、人頭等物。


Heruka is a principal Deity (Tantric Buddha) of Mother Tantra, who is the embodiment of indivisible bliss and emptiness.Heruka has a blue-coloured body, four faces, and twelve arms, and embraces his consort Vajravarahi. These two are not two different entities, as an ordinary husband and wife are two different people; in reality, their divine embrace symbolizes the union of great bliss and emptiness, which are one and the same essence.
