③ Deity Introduction
Rahu, also known as Rahula, is recognized in Tibetan Buddhism as a wrathful protector deity.
Within the Nyingma tradition, Rahula is accepted as an important guardian figure associated with the protection of the Dharma and the subjugation of obstructive forces.
Rahu is traditionally classified within the protector deity system, appearing in wrathful form to symbolize disciplined power, vigilance, and uncompromising guardianship.
④ Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic
Rahu is traditionally associated with the safeguarding of spiritual practice and the removal of disruptive influences that hinder cultivation and clarity.
In Buddhist symbolic logic, wrathful protector deities do not represent aggression, but rather enlightened force applied to preserve order, discipline, and correct direction on the path of practice.
This thangka pendant serves as a symbolic reminder of steadfast protection, restraint, and commitment to right conduct.
⑤ Combined Practice Logic
