Compassion with fangs? Buddhist protector

Mom, is this what you call compassion? - Shut the front door, you worthless piece of me!

(Buddha's Wisdom) MAHA KALA: The Buddhist protector who looks like a demon

Mahākāla (Sanskrit महाकाल) is a deity common to Buddhism and Hinduism [1].

In Buddhism, Mahākāla is regarded as a Dharmapāla ("Protector of the Dharma") and a wrathful manifestation of a cosmic or primordial buddha or bodhisattva.

In Hinduism, Mahākāla is a fierce manifestation of the Hindu God Shiva and the consort of the Goddess Mahākālī [1].

He most prominently appears in the Kalikula sect of Shaktism [2, 3, 4]. Mahākāla appears as a protector deity in the various traditions of Vajrayana Buddhism, like Chinese Esoteric Buddhism, Japanese Shingon, and Tibetan Vajrayana [1] and Bon.

He is known as Dàhēitiān and Daaih'hāktīn (大黑天) in Mandarin and Cantonese, Daeheukcheon (대흑천) in Korean, Đại Hắc Thiên in Vietnamese, and Daikokuten (大黒天) in Japanese. More

Harken, it's time to awaken, deluded Earth Man.
O, Moon Goddess, I was having a wild dream.

An Uposatha (Sanskrit Upavasatha) day is a Buddhist day of observance, in existence since before the Buddha's time (600 BCE) and still being kept today by Buddhist practitioners as he advised [1, 2].

The Buddha taught that the Uposatha Day is for "the cleansing of the defiled mind/heart," resulting in inner calm and joy [3].

Eight spokes of the Dharma Wheel

On this day, both lay and ordained members of the sangha (spiritual community) intensify their practice, deepen their knowledge of the Teachings, and express communal commitment through millennia-old acts of lay-monastic reciprocity.

On these days, lay followers make a conscious effort to keep the Eight Precepts or (as the tradition suggests) Ten Precepts of intensive practice, over the ordinary Five Precepts observed all of the rest of the time. It is a day specially set aside for practicing the Buddha's Teachings and engaging in meditation. More
