Initiation Cards: Wrathful Deities (Ashmolean)
Wrathful Deities | Ashmolean Museum
These six initiation cards of wrathful deities belong to a much larger set depicting the peaceful and wrathful deities of the Guhyagarbha Tantra of the Nyingma Tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. There are many different 'revealed treasure' (terma) and edited versions of the deities of the Guhyagarbha making it difficult to identify precisely which sub-tradition or lineage the cards belong to.
