Vajrabhairava, or Yamantaka, is a wrathful manifestation of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, embodying the ultimate realization that eradicates the cycle of birth and death. His practice is particularly esteemed in the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism, where it is seen as a potent method for confronting and dissolving the ego and the illusions of the material world.
