The mandala of Kurukulla was brought to Tibet by Atisha Dipamkara in the 11th Century and was popular in the early Kadampa school. This goddess is a female Buddha who is considered to be an emanation of goddess Tara, symbol of the active enlightenment. Kurukulla’s form is associated with stability and success in worldly matters, as well as magical powers, such as subjugating evil powers, personal enemies and attracting material wealth. Her three eyes stare into the past, present, and future. With her four arms and ritual ornaments, she hooks whatever sentient beings desire.
