Background & Significance 背景與意義
Palden Lhamo (Śrī Devī, 'Glorious Goddess') is the only female among the Eight Dharmapalas of Tibetan Buddhism. She rides a mule across a sea of blood, carrying a skull cup and trident. According to legend, she killed her own son who had been destined to destroy Buddhism, then fled across the lake of blood on a saddle made of her son's skin. She is the special protectress of Tibet, the Dalai Lamas, and all practitioners facing obstacles from enemies of the Dharma.
