Narration:

Vajra Puba, also known as Dorje Puba, is an important deity in Tibetan Buddhism. He is regarded as the wrathful aspect of Vajra Teng and is also known as Karma Heluga¹². He possesses the wisdom and nature of the Buddhas of the five directions, and is regarded as the main deity of the career wheel (esoteric wheel) among the five wheels. He is the Vajra King in esoteric Buddhism¹².

Puba Vajra's name means "prong" in Tibetan, which is a three-sided sharp weapon with a pointed front, which is the demon-conquering Vajra he holds. In the meaning of the word "Puba", the word "Pu" means emptiness, and the word "Puba" means wisdom. Therefore, the word Puba is the combination of emptiness and wisdom, which is the true nature of Vajrashara¹².

To practice Puba Dharma, you must get rid of all self-obsession and greed, and eliminate inner fear. Only in this way can we understand the true meaning of Puba Dharma, which is: practicing the Dharma does not lie in subduing other things, but in realizing the mind¹².

The origin of Puba Vajra is quite interesting. According to legend, in Tibet, there used to be a powerful ghost named Madang Muruzha. He had three heads, six arms, four legs and two wings. He lived in the corpse forest and harmed all sentient beings in the three realms. In order to subjugate this powerful ghost and god, Karma Heluka transformed into Puba Vajra and had the same form as the powerful ghost and god. He possesses extremely powerful divine power and will eventually subdue the powerful ghost and god, that is, all demons.

Puba Vajra plays an important role in Tibetan Buddhism, not only in mythological stories, but also in actual practice and rituals.
