附件。  Buddhist Worldly Protector: Garwa Nagpo

            Garwa Nagpo, Damchen (English: the Blacksmith), the main attendant deity to the Tibetan worldly protector Dorje Legpa. Garwa Nagpo can typically be found in art as a retinue figure in paintings of Dorje Legpa or as an independent figure in a painted composition with his own retinue of attendant figures. Garwa Nagpo is generally found as a standard protector deity in the Karma Kagyu and Nyingma Traditions. Some Gelug monasteries and incarnate lama traditions (trulku) have also adopted Garwa Nagpo as their special protector deity.

Tibetan: Dam chen gar wa'i nag po

Dorje Legpa and his retinue, including Damchen Garwa Nagpo, were originally believed to be subjugated in Tibet by Padmasambhava in the 8th century. They are avowed, oath-bound, protectors and perform the specific function of safeguarding the Nyingma Terma (treasure) tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

General Description: Wrathful with one face and two hands, he is dark blue in colour, with three eyes, bared fangs and bright orange or brown hair flaming upward. The right hand holds aloft a vajra hammer and the left a blacksmith's bellows made of striped tiger skin. Adorned with a crown of five dry skulls and earrings he is lavishly attired in variously coloured full-length garments and felt boots. Riding atop a brown goat with two horns he is surrounded most often by grey smoke and wisps of orange and yellow flame.

Damchen Garwa Nagpo can be accompanied by an assortment of retinue figures as described in the various ritual texts. Garwa Nagpo is also sometimes depicted with the accompanying figures of a black bear, fox, wild blue mule and a grey wolf. The animals function as servant-like messengers for the protector.

The best examples of painting and iconography are #533, 64023, and 90555.

The best sculpture example is #65488

The two most interesting works are painting #533 because of the ten retinue deities in various forms. Note the Chinese demon on the lower left side, red in colour, riding a brown goat. Also note on the lower right side the monkey riding the white lion. Below that is a wolf-headed demon, blue in colour, riding a grey wolf.

The second painting is #81825 which has lengthy inscription claiming that it was painted by the 10th Karmapa, Choying Dorje. The goat, in a hose-like pose at full gallop, appears to be painted white in colour which is unusual. The clothing and head covering of Garwa Nagpo seems non-traditional along with the lack of wrathful ornaments save for the possibility of naga serpent bracelets.

Observing the horns of the goat, from the images depicted below, eleven paintings and sculpture portray the horns as twisted together while five examples have the horns untwisted.

顶礼护法！
第三张里的羊，最像羊；前两张，不看标题没认出来

骑羊护法，同一尊护法神， 骑狮护法。具誓护法单坚又称“具誓金刚”、“善金刚居士”，是宁玛派三根本护法之一，也是格鲁派密院的主要护法。属于世间相护法。
　　据说最初莲花生大师受邀来西藏的时候，单坚护法曾是当时阻挠大师来西藏的神灵之一。他有360个兄弟眷属，因此，后来念诵的护法祈祷文中有“三百六十化身无穷众”的偈赞。当莲花生大师途径西藏吾尤西仓宗格拉山的时候，单坚听说莲花生大师要前往拉萨会见图伯赞普，心中十分妒恨，根本不把大师放在眼里，想试探一下大师到底有多大的本领，便率领三百六十眷属前往阻拦。但莲师是神通大师，根本无法阻拦，于是莲师施展神通将他们死死地定住，丝毫动弹不得，遂逼其献出命咒，将之收为佛教护法。
　　单坚护法主要护持密法，所以在格鲁派的上下密部学院都供奉这个护法。但他同时也是一位财神，具有生财的效用。
　　单坚护法骑乘一只绿鬃白狮，身着蓝法衣，头戴白沿毡帽。右手挥舞金刚杵，左手托持滴血心脏，送至嘴边。一面二臂，三目怒睁，面色紫红。獠牙外雌，喷吐毒雾，眉毛胡须犹如火焰，旋转向上。衣着华丽，相貌恐怖。单坚护法尚有另外一个重要的化相，骑乘一只山羊，浑身如漆，面部也同身体一样乌黑。头戴一种称为“太虚”的特殊帽子，右手持铜冒火锤，左手托吹火皮囊。由于具铁匠装束，因此也被西藏的铁匠视为他们的护法神。虽然单坚护法化相众多，但最主要则是骑狮和骑羊这两种。（网络文）

好像本来就是藏传各派共许的世间护法吧

5楼的肃师兄 介绍里也详写了：

        骑羊护法，同一尊护法神， 骑狮护法。具誓护法单坚又称“具誓金刚”、“善金刚居士”，是宁玛派三根本护法之一，也是格鲁派密院的主要护法。属于世间相护法。
　
更写了莲师降伏并转为护法的事

        据说最初莲花生大师受邀来西藏的时候，单坚护法曾是当时阻挠大师来西藏的神灵之一。他有360个兄弟眷属，因此，后来念诵的护法祈祷文中有“三百六十化身无穷众”的偈赞。当莲花生大师途径西藏吾尤西仓宗格拉山的时候，单坚听说莲花生大师要前往拉萨会见图伯赞普，心中十分妒恨，根本不把大师放在眼里，想试探一下大师到底有多大的本领，便率领三百六十眷属前往阻拦。但莲师是神通大师，根本无法阻拦，于是莲师施展神通将他们死死地定住，丝毫动弹不得，遂逼其献出命咒，将之收为佛教护法。

头戴五佛五冠就是出世间护法？
（这几幅图也确实少见，一般都是只带唐夏帽的）
那也不叫五佛冠吧，叫不叫五佛冠另说
可是这样也不说明他是是出世间护法的
白哈尔的伴神 多杰扎丹，就是经常降神，降神师长的很像HK某明星的那个    帽子上也有五骷髅冠的啊



你能说他也是出世间护法？
