Garuda
Tibet 1700 - 1799 Gelug Lineage Collection of Rubin Museum of Art

Garuda, Black (Tibetan: khyung nag po) used to transmute the various poisons of worldly existence, specifically the harm caused by nagas.

Having the face of a bird, two eyes, a beak and two horns raising above with a slight curve, his orange eyebrows and hair flow upward like flame. The arms are outstretched to each side holding the head and tail of a long spotted snake while biting the mid-section with the beak. On the crown of the head is a golden jewel plundered from the Naga Realms. He is adorned with gold and jewel ornaments in the form of bracelets, armlets and two necklaces. Behind and beneath the arms green and brown feathered wings are unfurled. From the waist up he is blue-black in colour. The waist and lower body are well covered in yellow plumage with dark brown tail feathers showing between the legs. With two red talons each clutching a green snake he stands above a sun disc and pink lotus seat. In front of a four tiered white structure symbolic of mount Sumeru, the king of mountains, Black Garuda stands completely surrounded by red and orange flames of pristine awareness.

At the top left is a Gelugpa lama wearing monastic robes and a yellow pandita hat holding the right hand at the heart in a gesture of blessing and the left cradling a black begging bowl in the lap. At the right side is a lama wearing monastic robes and a yellow cap typical of the early Panchen lamas. Both are seated on cushions with backrests.

Historically, from classical Indian mythology, Garuda is the king of birds. In Tantric Buddhism, Garuda is yet another form in which various buddhas arise for the purpose of removing disease and injury caused by nagas and poisoning. Metaphorically the worst 'poisons' are desire, hatred and ignorance. Various forms of Garuda are found in both the Nyingma and Sarma traditions. The Chakrasamvara and Kalachakra Tantras of the Sarma tradition are the main sources for the various lineages of practice.

Garuda

Tibet 1700 - 1799 Nyingma Lineage Collection of Rubin Museum of Art

Garuda, Black (Tibetan: khyung nag po); an enlightened deity for removing afflictions caused by nagas and earth spirits.

Slightly fierce, with one face in the form of an eagle, round eyes and a curved beak, he has two horns, upward flowing yellow hair and a green jewel snatched from the nagas adorning the crown of the head. The two hands hold outstretched a writhing snake gripped with the beak. Adorned with gold necklaces and bracelets, the lower body is covered with feathers and large wings are unfurled behind. Standing on legs of two talons above wisps of fire and a coiled snake, atop a sun disc and lotus seat, he is surrounded by orange and red wisps of twisting flames of pristine awareness.

At the top center is a lama holding a vajra to the heart with the right hand and a bell held in the left hand in the mudra of meditation. Wearing an orange pandita hat with red and orange monastic robes, he sits on a cushioned seat with a large blue backrest adorned with a white scarf. At the left is a black Garuda soaring downwards through the air biting down on a writhing snake. At the right is another Garuda soaring sideways with a flaccid snake. At the bottom center is a worldly protector dressed as a Tibetan warrior holding a spear with a red tassel upraised in the right hand and an object in the left held to the side. The head is covered with a red hat with a white rim various long flowing robes and a bow and arrow in a leopard skin pouch worn on the side. Seated atop a black horse, he is surrounded by dark swirling smoke. At the left is the wealth deity and protector, the Guardian of the Northern Direction, Vaishravana, with one face and two hands the right holds aloft a victory banner and the left a mongoose at the side. Seated in a relaxed posture, he rides atop a white snow lion. At the right side a lay lama with long hair and covered in orange and red garments holds the right hand at the heart in the mudra of blessing and the left holds a gold vase in the lap. In a relaxed posture with the left leg extended he sits on a cushion seat with a large backrest, the head surrounded by a large white areola.

Garuda

1300 - 1399 Collection of Rob Linrothe - photographs

Black Garuda, Nine Headed, Eighteen Armed.

Each of the nine heads depicts that of a different coloured garuda bird. Starting at the top left the colours appear to be black, white, black followed by green, red, yellow and then white, black and red. The two main hands hold a vajra and bell. Each of the other hands holds a different symbolic attribute along with the tail of eighteen naga serpents positioned to the right and left, turned to face the deity, and paying veneration with the hands folded at the heart. This mural is located near Phyang Monastery, a Drigung Kagyu establishment founded in 1515.

Also see a Naxi painting with the same Garuda subject and another painting with a detail that appears to depict the same Garuda with nine faces and eighteen hands.
