This drawing belongs to a compendium of Buddhist deities from the Diamond World and Womb World Mandalas that was discovered in Japan in the late 1920s, disassembled, and dispersed. Together, the two mandalas are foundational to Esoteric Buddhist ritual. This page shows the bodhisattva Daishōjin, a deity of unswerving faith and one of the Sixteen Honored Ones of the Auspicious Age, a group of guardians in the Diamond World Mandala.
