Ass-Headed Demons—Long A Part Of Life
Above are ass-headed demons on display at the British Museum in London. This ceramic plaque is from 15th century Burma.
Thesw ass-headed demons were sent by Mara, the god of death, to distract the Buddha from his course of enlightenment. Mara was defeated after the Buddha asked the Earth-goddess to see how hard he was working for enlightenment. The Earth-goddess sent a giant earthquake and Mara retreated.
I bet we all have people in our lives who we see as ass-headed demons.
Some might be well-known political figures or people in the news, while others might be folks we’re forced to deal with each day in life.
As you can see, ass-headed demons have long been a part of life and existence.
