觀者在這幅作品中首先看到的形式是一位忿怒本尊。在佛教中,這些忿怒的、通常是可怕的人物並非邪惡或惡魔,而是佛陀的化身。金寶將佛陀的形象疊加在忿怒的臉上,藉以闡明其中具有教化人心意義的矛盾。本尊的忿怒相代表克服無明、慾望和仇恨,並為開悟之路提供了巨大的力量。
The first image in this painting that the viewer would see is that of a wrathful deity. In Buddhism, these wrathful, often terrifying figures are not evil or demons, but a manifestation of the Buddha. The form of the Buddha is superimposed on to the wrathful face, to illuminate this supposed contradiction which has a teaching. The wrathful aspect of the deity represents the great amount of energy and power required to vanquish ignorance, desire, and hatred, and pave the path for enlightenment.
