The Lion-Faced Dakini (Simhamukha / Sengdongma) is a powerful protector in Vajrayana Buddhism, particularly in the Nyingma and Sarma traditions. She is known for her ability to dispel obstacles, subdue negative forces, and protect practitioners from harm, including black magic and obstacles on the path.
Lion-Faced Dakini Torma (Sengdongma Torma)
In Vajrayana rituals, tormas (ritual cakes) are often made as offerings to deities, protectors, and dakinis. A torma dedicated to Simhamukha would have specific characteristics:
1. Purpose of the Torma:
Used in sadhanas, fire pujas (jinsek), and protector rituals to invoke her blessings and protection.
Can be used in obstacle-removing practices for clearing spiritual or worldly difficulties.
In some wrathful ceremonies, the torma is offered as a symbolic ransom to appease negative forces.
Ritual Uses:
The torma is blessed and offered as a means to invoke Sengdongmaâ protection.
In wrathful practices, it may be dissolved in fire (jinsek) or placed at a crossroads to remove negativity.
In peaceful offerings, it is left at a sacred place or shrine as a gesture of devotion.
