How funky!

Deities in tantric Buddhism represent different aspects of the principles of energy. They are depicted as male or female and can be either wrathful or peaceful. The wrathful aspect is associated with transmutation by force, leaping into wisdom, and choiceless transmutation. It is the act of cutting through, associated with crazy wisdom.
