Yamantaka or Vajrabhairava is a deity of the Anuttarayoga Tantra class popular within the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. Yamantaka is seen as a wrathful manifestation of Manjusri, the bodhisattva of wisdom, and in other contexts functions as a dharmapala.<br/><br/>

Within Buddhism, 'terminating death' is a quality of all buddhas as they have stopped the cycle of rebirth, samsara. Yamantaka represents the goal of the Mahayana journey to enlightenment, or the journey itself.
